The head of the US Office of Government Efficiency (DOGE) Elon Musk topped the list of super-billionaires, which includes only 24 people from around the world, writes the Wall Street Journal, citing data from the analytical company Altrata.
According to her, today we can talk about the emergence of a new category of ultra-rich people - super-billionaires, each of whom owns at least $50 billion. Altrata has included 24 people from around the world in this list.
The head of SpaceX, Tesla and X Elon Musk is in first place in the ranking with a fortune estimated at $ 419.4 billion. He is followed by the founder of the online shopping giant Amazon Jeff Bezos ($ 263.8 billion), the owner of LVMH Bernard Arnault ($ 238.9 billion), the head of the technology company Oracle Larry Ellison ($ 237 billion) and the CEO of Meta Corporation Mark Zuckerberg ($ 220.8 billion).
In total, the 24 richest people in the world own $ 3.3 trillion, which is comparable to the nominal GDP of France, Altrata calculated. The wealth of 16 people on the list exceeds $ 100 billion. Moreover, while in the 19th and early 20th centuries the richest people were industrialists, most of today's super-billionaires earned their capital working in the technology sector.
