Hello friends, In today’s article, we’ll talk about richest people in the world as of November 2024. The total net worth of only the 10 richest people on the planet is $ 1.5 trillion. This is about the same size as Russia’s GDP.
Who are these super-rich people and what is the source of their wealth? Next, we will reveal the top 100 richest people on the planet and what industry they made their billions in.
- Elon Musk is currently the richest person in the world with a combined net worth of $ 311 billion as of November 1, 2024.
- In second place is Jeff Bezos with a fortune of $ 195 billion.
- Who’s in the $ 100 Billion Club?
- Elon Musk is currently the richest of them all, with a fortune of $ 311 billion. That’s $ 100 billion more than the closest pursuer in the rankings.
- This is not surprising given how well Tesla stock has grown in recent years and months. While many skeptics expect the Tesla bubble to eventually burst (including well-known investor Michael Berry), the auto company’s value continues to rise.
- At a current market cap of $ 1.2 trillion, Tesla is worth more than the next six largest car manufacturers combined.
- Musk took first place ahead of Jeff Bezos, who, just a few months ago, held the title as the world’s richest man. However, it’s worth noting that things could change overnight, as the pair is constantly going head-to-head and only in recent weeks has Musk taken the lead.
- Third on the list is Bernard Arnault, CEO of luxury brands conglomerate Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy (LVMH), which owns Louis Vuitton, Dior, Fendi, Loro Piana and Bulgari. Arno is the richest man in Europe, and in May, even for a short time, was the richest in the world.
- Money in technology (and in the US)
When looking at the top 10 rankings, there are two obvious trends:
- Most of these billionaires work in the tech industry, with the exception of Bernard Arnault and Warren Buffett.
- All people from the USA, except for Arno.
Given that the US tech sector is expected to continue to grow by many in the coming years , it is likely that US tech billionaires will continue their reign for the foreseeable future.
