Fresh insight into how the global wealth map is changing dramatically. I reviewed data from the beginning of the year, and honestly — it’s crazy.

Elon Musk remains the richest person in the world with an estimated net worth of $726 billion. This is a historic achievement — never before has one person held such a level of personal wealth. The growth of his fortune is primarily driven by the increase in SpaceX’s value, the development of Starlink, Tesla shares, and the growing stake in AI and neurotech sectors.

Following him are tech giants. Larry Page, with around $270 billion, benefiting from Alphabet’s dominance in artificial intelligence, and Jeff Bezos in third place with $255 billion — supported by the growth of AWS and Amazon’s logistics development.

Interestingly, the list is practically a showcase of the tech sector’s dominance. Sergey Brin ($251 billion), Larry Ellison ($248 billion), Mark Zuckerberg ($233 billion), Bernard Arnault ($205 billion), Steve Ballmer ($170 billion), Jensen Huang ($156 billion), and Warren Buffett ($151 billion) — these are all people whose wealth is directly or indirectly linked to technology, innovation, and business scale.

The driving forces behind this phenomenon are clear: the explosion of artificial intelligence and cloud computing, rising values in the space and semiconductor sectors, and the dominance of American tech companies. Those who jumped early into these sectors and maintained their stakes are earning huge from it.

This shows that being the richest person in the world in 2026 is almost synonymous with being involved in technology. Long-term investments in innovative sectors are what fuel such fortunes.
