The three have estimated fortunes of EUR1.5-1.6 billion, EUR1.4-1.45 billion and EUR1.25-1.4 billion, respectively.

While the first two spots are filled by the same people as last year, Niculae, who ranked sixth last year, climbed to the third spot and last year's second runners-up, the Voiculescu family, dropped to the fifth position.
