There are more billionaires in the world than ever before--Forbes puts the figure at 1,210.

Even so, there's something impressive about being able to call yourself the richest person in a given country.

We looked at the data on Forbes' latest billionaires list, which includes the net worths of the world's richest people as of March 2011.

There were lots of shakeups this year, with lots of former titleholders losing their superlatives, and several titleholders vastly increasing their net worths.

Now, meet the richest man or woman from every major country across the globe.
