Forbes.com released its list of the 400 People Who Have So Much More Money Than You, It's Really Not Even Funny List for 2013, and Palm Beach residents are all over that thing.

In all, 27 rich Palm Beachers made Forbes' list, including the Koch Twins.

David Koch, the 73-year-old executive vice president of Koch Industries and South Florida's richest dude, obviously made the list. He also added $5 billion to his net worth of $36 billion, which buys you a lot of Pop-Tarts, if you really, really love Pop-Tarts.

Twin bro William, an energy magnate and investor, is worth $3.8 billion. So he too made the list.

HIGH FIVE, KOCH BROS!

Jack Taylor, who owns Enterprise Rent-a-Car, is also high on the list with a net worth of $11.4 billion. He's also 91, basically making him the Mr. Burns of Palm Beach County.

In other words, Forbes is telling America what we already know. Palm Beach is rich, yo!
