AffluenceIQ, a database of high net-worth individuals run by Massinvestor, released its annual list of the "50 Richest People in Massachusetts" on Wednesday. Topping the list is 84-year-old Sheldon Adelson, a Boston native who still owns a $5 million residence in Newton. Adelson's net worth is $35.4 billion, according to AffluenceIQ. Next up at No. 2 is Abigail Johnson, the CEO of Fidelity Investments, with a net worth of $16 billion. She's followed by her father, Fidelity Chairman Edward Johnson III, at $8 billion.
