Key Highlights for 2026
The Elon Musk Surge: In one year, Musk’s fortune nearly doubled as SpaceX merged with AI venture xAI, valuing the combined company at over $1.25 trillion. He is now expected by most to become the world’s first trillionaire.
The AI Boom: Jensen Huang (NVIDIA) and the founders of Google and Meta have each racked up massive gains as AI infrastructure became the world’s most valuable trade.
New $100B Club: Changpeng Zhao (Binance) and Michael Dell crossed the $100 billion threshold for the first time this year, which speaks to the strength of crypto and hardware.
Bill Gates’ Falloff: Dropping from the Top 10 for the first time in 15 years, Bill Gates lost some $2 billion worth of net wealth, mostly because he received a titanic $20 billion donation to his foundation last year.
