As of January 1, 2025, the world\u2019s 10 richest individuals are collectively worth $1.9 trillion, up from $1.8 trillion just a month prior. Seven out of the 10 have seen their fortunes grow, underscoring the dynamic nature of wealth in the billionaire class.<\/p>\n

Forbes has tracked global billionaires since 1987, identifying 2,781 of them in its April 2024 annual list. The US leads the Forbes’ World\u2019s Billionaires List 2025 with a record 813 billionaires, followed by China with 473, and India claiming third place with 200 billionaires.<\/p>\n

Elon Musk starts 2025 as the world\u2019s richest person, with a net worth of $433.9 billion, largely driven by SpaceX\u2019s valuation of $350 billion.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Musk’s net worth has surged by an astounding $91 billion since December 1, 2024, cementing SpaceX\u2019s position as the most valuable private company globally.<\/p>\n

In addition to SpaceX, Musk leads Tesla, holds stakes in the social media platform X, AI company xAI, and tunneling firm Boring Co.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Mark Zuckerberg has surpassed Oracle founder Larry Ellison to become the third-wealthiest individual globally, with his net worth rising by 4% to $217.7 billion. This shift reflects the strong performance of Meta’s stock, in contrast to Oracle\u2019s slight decline.<\/p>\n

Additionally, Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, has broken into the top 10 richest people, now ranked 10th with an estimated $118 billion, thanks to a 171% rise in Nvidia\u2019s stock price, making it the world\u2019s second-most valuable tech company.<\/p>\n
