I saw this thing about the top 10 richest people in the world in early 2025, and I became curious about how religion plays a role in their backgrounds. Basically, Elon Musk leads with $421 billion (atheist, of course), then Jeff Bezos with $233 billion — interesting because he grew up Catholic but has Jewish roots on his mother’s side, so there’s an interesting mix there. Larry Ellison with $209 billion is Jewish, Mark Zuckerberg also with $202 billion from a Jewish family. Then Bernard Arnault of the French with $168 billion and a Roman Catholic background. Among the tech guys, Larry Page and Sergey Brin of Google, both atheists and Jewish respectively, together amount to nearly $300 billion. Warren Buffett with $141 billion is Presbyterian, Steve Ballmer of Microsoft with $124 billion is Protestant. And Jensen Huang of Nvidia rounds out with $117 billion, but no one really knows what his religion is — he keeps it private. What stands out is that most are either atheists or have Jewish-Christian backgrounds. Strange how this isn’t a topic that’s discussed much when talking about these billionaires, right?
