Elon Musk1 has once again secured the title of the world’s richest person, according to the Hurun Global Rich List 2025 with the Tesla and SpaceX chief’s net worth surging to $420 billion, cementing his dominance among global billionaires.
Silicon2 Valley moguls filled most of the top spots, with Musk followed by Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg, and Oracle’s Larry Ellison.
Among the top five, veteran investor3 Warren Buffett was the only non-tech figure, maintaining his status as one of the world’s most successful investors4.
Notably5, nine of the top ten billionaires hail from the United States, with Bernard Arnault, the French fashion magnate behind LVMH, being the only exception.
Musk’s financial leap—an 82% jump amounting to $189 billion—was largely fueled by the soaring stock price of Tesla.
Alongside Musk, several other US-based billionaires have seen sharp gains.
Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg, Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, and Nvidia’s Jensen Huang each recorded an increase of over $80 billion in their net worths.
Musk also made history by becoming the first person to surpass a $400 billion fortune.
