Interesting statistic I just reviewed. It turns out that in 2025, the wealth of the ten richest people in the world increased by as much as $730 billion. That’s an incredible number when you think about it.

The most striking? Elon Musk dominated this ranking as the richest person in the world in 2025. The guy earned $333 billion this year and, for the first time in history, crossed the $700 billion mark — his wealth reached $754.4 billion. It’s hard to imagine such a scale.

Following him were Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, with increases of $98.7 billion and $86.1 billion respectively. But here, it’s worth noting something important: six out of the ten biggest beneficiaries are Americans, accounting for over 85% of the total growth. This shows how strongly the technology sector and artificial intelligence drove market gains.

Among them were Jensen Huang from Nvidia, Larry Ellison from Oracle, and Mark Zuckerberg from Meta. Each benefited from the tech boom. Outside the United States, the list also includes Amancio Ortega from Inditex, Mexican miner Germán Larrea, Masayoshi Son from SoftBank, and Carlos Slim.

But that’s not all. The total wealth of over 3,100 billionaires worldwide increased this year by $3.6 trillion, reaching $18.7 trillion. The richest person in the world in 2025 is, of course, Musk, but the entire ecosystem of the wealthy is expanding. Artificial intelligence is truly changing the game — both for tech giants and for the entire global financial system.
