As of early 2026, Elon Musk is the world's richest person, with a net worth estimated between $700 billion and over $800 billion, driven by surging valuations for Tesla and SpaceX.
He is followed by Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, along with Amazon's Jeff Bezos and Meta's Mark Zuckerberg, as AI and tech stocks fuel immense wealth growth.
The wealth held by the world’s top 20 billionaires—about $3.8 trillion—is greater than the GDP of most countries on Earth.
