Talk about power couples. Bill and Hillary may be hitting the headlines lately, but the political duo has nowhere near the net worth of these couples. Another Bill, along with his wife Melinda, tops the list as the world’s wealthiest couple, according to Wealth-X. They’re followed at a not-so-close second by Spanish retail couple Amancio Ortega Gaona and Flora Perez. The youngest couple, ranked at number nine, is Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan. The Harvard educated couple, ages 31 and 30 respectively, were married in 2012.
