There is at least one billionaire living in 47 states in the country and 54 of them are now worth $1.6 trillion — with a t — up by $100 billion compared to last year, according to Forbes.

In Massachusetts, the richest person is Abigail Johnson, the chairman and CEO of Fidelity Investments, who has an estimated net worth of $29 billion, Forbes reported.

Johnson, a Milton resident, has served as CEO of Fidelity Investments since 2014, when she took over for her father. She has been chairman of the company since 2016. It’s estimated she owns a 28.5% stake in the firm, which manages discretionary assets amounting to $4.5 trillion, Forbes said.

MASSACHUSETTS — A wave of severe weather may hit Massachusetts Monday afternoon and evening, bringing the potential for damaging winds and heavy rain, according to forecasts.

According to the National Weather Service, the chance of severe storms is highest across the Berkshires and northern parts of the state, including northern Worcester, Middlesex and Essex counties. The chance of severe weather is slightly lower for central parts of the state and Boston, and only marginal for Cape Cod.

Any severe weather on Monday will only be the beginning of a stretch of unsettled weather this week. Tuesday night into Wednesday brings the potential for torrential rain and possible local flooding, according to forecasts. Temperatures will also swing into the low 70s later in the week — a big change from the high 80s and 90s in recent days.

Then there’s Hurricane Debby, which could creep up the East Coast this week, arriving in New England over the weekend.

“Need to monitor the track of Debby and the moisture associated with it for late in the week and over the weekend as it may bring impacts to our region. Heavy rain and flooding will be possible heading into the weekend,” the National Weather Service said.

Debby made landfall in Florida early Monday morning, and was on a track to strike states including Georgia, South Carolina and Virginia by late in the week.

FOXBORO – Thousands of cyclists completed their ride in the 45th annual Pan-Mass Challenge Sunday, enduring brutal heat and pouring rain to raise money for cancer research at Dana Farber.

Honoring lives impacted by cancer

“Today’s just the single best day of the year,” said cancer survivor Stacey Valhouli.

Cyclists hit the pavement on day two of the Pan-Mass Challenge, an act of love for those impacted by cancer. Cyclist Allison Wang rode for her father, who passed away from cancer.

“It’s kind of like I’m biking with him again,” said Wang. “It was my dad’s dream to ride the PMC and he passed away in 2022 of cancer, so I decided to ride it in his honor.”

Wang joined cyclists from all over the world on day two, riding from Sturbridge to Provincetown, all to support cancer research. Every dollar raised goes to the Dana Farber Cancer Institute. That’s where Ruby Cohen-Weinberg was treated and she’s now a living proof rider.

“It’s amazing. The cancer that I had is the most common type of brain cancer in pediatrics and so doctors knew exactly what to do,” said Cohen-Weinberg. “But that’s not the case for a lot of kids and people, so they need to keep researching.”

Raised $1 billion since 1980

The PMC raises more money for charity than any other single athletic fundraising event in the country. Since 1980, the PMC has raised $1 billioin.

“We’ve all had family members and friends that have died from cancer,” said Valhouli, who had a team raise $250,000 in her honor this year. “And I think that for those of us lucky enough to survive and for those of us that have all been impacted, what else would we do today?”

Among the riders this year was WBZ-TV’s Lisa Hughes, who rode in her 14th PMC. 

“My favorite part is riding with my friends, three of whom are breast cancer survivors,” said Hughes. “It’s so life-affirming and it feels so good to be part of something that is so positive.”

WBZ-TV is the official media partner of the Pan Mass Challenge.
