You may not call it breaking news, but you can call it an interesting coincidence.

As Forbes rolled out its annual Forbes 400 list last week, which rounds up and ranks America's wealthiest billionaires, two familiar names claimed the same spot. 

With estimated net worths of $3.1 billion, Fort Collins philanthropist Pat Stryker and President Donald Trump were both ranked 248th on the list, which includes the likes of Bill Gates, Elon Musk and Warren Buffet. 

Not alone at number 248, 14 other individuals were listed with a net worth of $3.1 billion, including those who made their fortunes in oil, real estate, tequila and even Snapchat. 

Stryker is the granddaughter of Dr. Homer Stryker, who founded the medical technology company Stryker Corporation. In 2001, she founded the Fort Collins-based Bohemian Foundation, which seeks to impact communities through its grantmaking, community programs and events.

Trump is known as the United States' first billionaire president, making his fortune in luxury real estate, according to Forbes.

Stryker's position on Forbes' list has wavered over the years but is now up from five years ago. In 2012, she was ranked at No. 303, with an estimated net worth of $1.5 billion.
