Top 10 Billionaires by Net Worth in 2025

The latest global rankings of individual net worth highlight a clear trend: technology continues to be the leading driver of extreme wealth.
Sitting at the top is Elon Musk, with an astounding net worth of $386 bn. His fortune is largely tied to Tesla, SpaceX, and a growing list of ambitious ventures spanning energy, AI, and space exploration.
In second place is Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, with $227 bn. His wealth has soared as investors rally behind advancements in virtual reality and artificial intelligence. Close behind is Jeff Bezos at $226 bn, whose wealth remains formidable thanks to Amazon’s enduring dominance in global e-commerce and cloud services.
Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison ranks fourth with $190 bn, followed by Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates at $174 bn. Though Gates has shifted much of his focus to philanthropy through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, his wealth remains among the world’s highest.
Steve Ballmer, another former Microsoft executive, takes the sixth spot with $158 bn. Warren Buffett, chairman of Berkshire Hathaway and the most prominent investor of our time, is the only non-tech figure in the top seven, with a net worth of $157 bn.
Rounding out the top ten are Google co-founders Larry Page ($156 bn) and Sergey Brin ($146 bn), both of whom continue to benefit from Alphabet’s global tech reach, and Bernard Arnault ($153 bn), the French luxury magnate behind LVMH, representing the consumer goods industry.
Billionairs list reflects a global concentration of wealth around innovation, data, and consumer influence—showcasing how today’s richest individuals have built their fortunes through a mix of visionary entrepreneurship, technology, and market dominance.

Methodology of the Bloomberg Billionaires Index
For private businesses, Bloomberg applies comparisons with similar publicly listed companies using enterprise value-to-Ebitda or price-to-earnings ratios. If net debt is unknown, the valuation assumes the average net debt-to-Ebitda ratios of comparable peers.
These valuations change daily in line with peer company movements or sector indices. Bloomberg selects peers based on company size and industry.
If ownership of certain private assets cannot be confirmed, they are excluded. Valuation notes, including the exact methods used, appear in the billionaire’s profile and are accessible through Bloomberg’s professional platform.
A default 5% discount is applied to privately held assets to reflect potential illiquidity, with exceptions noted and justified. Public shares are not discounted.
For individuals with concentrated holdings in a specific country, Bloomberg may apply a geographic risk discount, based on Standard & Poor’s sovereign debt ratings.
If public company shares are used as collateral for loans, their value or the amount borrowed is removed from the total net worth. When credible data shows how the funds were used, the corresponding value is added back in.
Valuing hedge funds relies on the average market capitalization-to-assets under management ratios of listed equivalents. Bloomberg excludes fee income due to verification issues and personal co-investments.
A 25% discount applies when a fund’s results depend primarily on a single manager. Asset values are updated using government filings, credible media, and analyst reports. Returns are factored in when supported by industry sources like the HFRI Index.
Calculations include dividend income and sales of both public and private shares. Bloomberg deducts taxes based on the country’s highest income, dividend, and capital gains rates, unless reliable evidence supports a lower rate.
Cash and other investable assets are valued using a hybrid return model combining cash, government bonds, equities, and commodities.
Personal debt is excluded from estimates. Family holdings are treated as part of the billionaire’s total wealth unless control is clearly divided among members. When multiple adults play active roles in a business, Bloomberg attributes value individually based on verified stakes.
Each individual or their representative may respond to questions regarding their net worth assessment. If they provide credible corrections or new data, Bloomberg adjusts the figures accordingly.
Michael Bloomberg is excluded from this ranking due to editorial policy restricting Bloomberg News from covering its parent company.
Bloomberg’s confidence score for evaluation
- 5-star profile includes mostly public assets or well-documented private holdings, with verification from the individual or their team.
- 4-star rating applies when most assets are public or transparent private firms, even if held through less transparent structures.
- 3-star score reflects significant private holdings or unverifiable public stakes, often relying on unconfirmed or single-source data.
- 2-star rating involves considerable unknowns or assumptions, and little or no current feedback.
- 1-star profile depends on limited information and requires major assumptions.
FAQ
Bloomberg calculates net worth using a combination of public data and financial modelling. Public company shares are valued at the latest New York market close and converted to USD using current exchange rates. Private assets are estimated by comparing similar publicly listed firms, adjusted for debt, liquidity, and control factors.
Net worth estimates are updated daily, reflecting changes in the stock market, exchange rates, and relevant financial disclosures. This makes the Bloomberg Index a dynamic and up-to-date reflection of global wealth.
Beinsure Media analysed Bloomberg’s global data to compile a focused ranking of the wealthiest individuals in the United Kingdom, highlighting the country’s top billionaires by industry and net worth.
Private businesses are valued by comparing them to publicly traded companies of similar size and sector, using enterprise value-to-EBITDA or price-to-earnings ratios. A default 5% discount is applied to account for illiquidity, unless verified exceptions apply.
Bloomberg deducts taxes based on the highest applicable rates in each country—covering income, dividends, and capital gains—unless supported evidence suggests otherwise. Personal debt is excluded, but loan-collateralised shares are adjusted accordingly.
Each billionaire’s profile includes a confidence score from 1 to 5 stars. A 5-star rating means the valuation relies primarily on public assets or well-documented private holdings, while lower ratings indicate greater reliance on assumptions and unverifiable data.
Due to an internal editorial policy, Bloomberg News does not cover the net worth of its founder, Michael Bloomberg, to avoid any conflict of interest. As a result, he is excluded from the rankings, regardless of his financial standing.
