What We’re Showing
This graphic tracks the world’s top 10 richest individuals in 2025 and highlights a historic milestone in global wealth accumulation. Based on data from the Bloomberg Billionaires Index (as of December 27, 2025), it shows how Elon Musk has surged far ahead of every other billionaire, becoming the first person ever to cross a net worth of $600 billion.
Key Takeaways
Elon Musk now stands in a league of his own. With an estimated net worth of $638 billion, Musk’s fortune is more than double that of the second-richest person, Larry Page at $270 billion. The scale of this gap underlines how unprecedented Musk’s rise has been in modern financial history.
The rest of the billionaire rankings are tightly packed by comparison. Jeff Bezos ($255 billion), Larry Ellison ($252 billion), and Sergey Brin ($251 billion) occupy a narrow band just above $250 billion. Mark Zuckerberg follows at $234 billion, while Bernard Arnault ($205 billion), Steve Ballmer ($170 billion), Jensen Huang ($158 billion), and Warren Buffett ($150 billion) round out the top ten.
Musk’s climb past $600 billion reflects the explosive growth of his businesses across electric vehicles, space, AI, and energy. More broadly, the data highlights a new era of wealth concentration—one where the world’s richest individual is no longer just ahead, but dramatically out in front.
