- The top 10 richest super billionaires own over 62% of global wealth as of 2025.
- Nine of the ten billionaires are from the United States; one is from France.
- Most super billionaires gained their wealth through technology-related industries.
- The AI boom significantly increased the net worth of key tech billionaires this year.
- The world’s working class holds only 2% of global net wealth, highlighting vast economic inequality.
The year 2025 is ending with a notable concentration of wealth among a small group of individuals. According to a recent report, the top 10 richest super billionaires collectively control more than 62% of the world’s wealth. Nine of these billionaires are Americans, while one is from France. The majority have acquired their fortunes through technology, with only one, the French billionaire, having made wealth in the luxury goods market. The rise of Artificial Intelligence this year contributed to significant wealth gains for technology entrepreneurs.
The global wealth divide is stark. The working class worldwide owns just 2% of net wealth, averaging around $4,100 per adult per month, far below the ultra-rich. This disparity underscores the growing wealth concentration among top individuals.
The top 10 richest super billionaires of 2025 include:
- Elon Musk (USA) – $458 billion
- Lawrence Ellison (USA) – $287 billion
- Jeff Bezos (USA) – $255 billion
- Bernard Arnault (France) – $245 billion
- Lawrence Page (USA) – $244 billion
- Sergey Brin (USA) – $221 billion
- Mark Zuckerberg (USA) – $216 billion
- Steven Ballmer (USA) – $180 billion
- Jensen Huang (USA) – $163 billion
- Warren Buffett (USA) – $158 billion.
Only Warren Buffett amassed his wealth through investing and stock trading, focusing on companies with strong reputations. The rest built their empires in sectors such as semiconductor chips, social media, e-commerce, cloud computing, and internet search engines. The report highlights, “The technology sector features prominently among the world’s wealthiest billionaires, with the AI boom driving recent strong gains in the portfolio valuations of US-based individuals such as Elon Musk, Larry Ellison, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, and Larry Page,” demonstrating AI’s role in boosting the fortunes of these tech leaders. More details about the list are available through Forbes’ report.
