Just to share what I've noticed — the ranking of the 10 richest people in the world is reaching some really interesting levels at this point in 2026. In January, we already saw a massive expansion of wealth among tech founders, and the numbers have remained quite stable since then.

Elon Musk dominates in an almost surreal way with $726 billion. It's not just a matter of Tesla — the value of SpaceX and Starlink is growing exponentially. Honestly, it's hard to find a historical precedent for this level of personal wealth concentration.

After him, the gap is still significant. Larry Page and Sergey Brin, the co-founders of Google, are still there with figures around $270 billion and $251 billion. Jeff Bezos in third place with $255 billion — Amazon and AWS continue to generate value. Then you find Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Ellison, and the other tech giants.

But what strikes me most is the pattern behind all this. The 10 richest people in the world are practically all built on three pillars: artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and specialized hardware (semiconductors, space). It’s no coincidence. Those who have held onto their shares in tech founders over the last 15-20 years have seen their wealth multiply in an almost incomprehensible way.

The interesting question is: how much of this wealth is sustainable? AI continues to accelerate, semiconductors remain critical, space is becoming a real industry. If these trends continue, we will probably see even more concentration in the coming years. The 10 richest people in the world will likely add hundreds of billions more to their combined wealth.

Anyway, it’s a fascinating snapshot of where global capital is heading right now.
