An interesting observation about the current state of global capital. Looking at how wealth is distributed among ultra-billionaires, it becomes clear — the tech sector has completely rewritten the rules of the game. This is especially evident in the first quarter of 2026.

What do I see in the top 10 wealthiest people in the world? Absolute dominance of tech entrepreneurs. Elon Musk holds the leading position with a net worth of $726 billion — an unprecedented level. For context, no one in history has achieved such personal wealth. SpaceX, Starlink, Tesla, plus growing influence in AI and neurotechnology — these are the drivers of this growth.

Next are the co-founders of Google. Larry Page is in second place with $270 billion, Sergey Brin is fourth with $251 billion. Both benefit from Alphabet’s dominance in artificial intelligence. Jeff Bezos ranks third with $255 billion thanks to AWS and Amazon’s logistics expansion.

The full top 10 wealthiest people in the world looks like this: Musk $726B, Page $270B, Bezos $255B, Brin $251B, Larry Ellison $248B, Mark Zuckerberg $233B, Bernard Arnault $205B, Steve Ballmer $170B, Jensen Huang $156B, and Warren Buffett $151B.

What drives this boom? First, the exponential rise of AI and cloud technologies. Second, the reevaluation of the space industry and semiconductors. Third, the absolute dominance of American tech companies in the global market. And most importantly — long-term bets made by founders on their companies and not selling their shares.

For investors, this is an important signal. Capital is concentrating in technology, and this trend will clearly continue. If you’re interested in exposure to these sectors, you should look at relevant assets and companies involved in the AI revolution and space technologies.
