The United States’ Richest Men. The US Billionaire Elite
At the top of the list is Elon Musk, whose ventures from Tesla to SpaceX have propelled his net worth to an astonishing $386 bn. Not far behind is Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg ($227 bn) and Amazon’s Jeff Bezos ($226 bn), reinforcing Silicon Valley’s enduring grip on global wealth.
The tech giants continue with Larry Ellison ($190 bn), Bill Gates ($174 bn), and Steve Ballmer ($158 bn), all of whom made their fortunes through software and cloud computing. Alphabet co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin are also in the top ten, alongside Michael Dell and Jensen Huang, the latter of whom leads Nvidia amid the AI boom.
Retail remains a substantial source of dynastic wealth.

In contrast, newer fortunes like that of Julia Koch ($78.3 bn) and Charles Koch ($71.2 bn) are tied to America’s vast industrial backbone.

Meanwhile, Abigail Johnson continues the Fidelity Investments legacy with $38.8 bn, showing that family-run finance firms can thrive in the modern era. Notably, MacKenzie Scott, the former wife of Jeff Bezos, commands $38.5 bn and has become renowned for her unprecedented philanthropic efforts.
Outside of finance and tech, fortunes also stem from entertainment (Miriam Adelson, $34.1 bn), food (the Mars siblings), real estate (Dan Gilbert, Stan Kroenke), healthcare (Thomas Frist), and consumer products (Phil Knight of Nike).
The U.S. billionaire class reflects a highly diversified economy, where innovation, scale, and legacy intersect. From Silicon Valley boardrooms to Midwest manufacturing and Wall Street trading floors, America’s billionaires offer a revealing portrait of modern capital accumulation—and the forces shaping global markets.
