No fewer than 15 individuals who made the list for 2010 earnings failed to qualify this year.

PAULSON & CO.

Paulson, who became a household name when his personal earnings topped $3.7 billion in 2007 from his now-famous bet against the housing market, lost $3 billion last year. Some of his funds fell 30 to 50 percent because of huge losses on bank and other financial stocks.
