Arthrex 'Sultan' on Forbes list

Welcome to the club, Reinhold Schmieding.

The Naples entrepreneur who founded and grew Arthrex to $1.3 billion in annual revenues recently joined the Forbes 400 list of richest people in America. With an estimated net worth of $2.5 billion, Schmieding ranks as the 222nd richest person in the nation.

This is Schmieding's first appearance on the list, but Forbes wasn't kind to the reclusive entrepreneur who reportedly cancelled an interview with the magazine at the last minute without explanation.
