The Top 5

#1

Elon Musk — $929.4 billion

CEO of Tesla and SpaceX and majority owner of xAI. His fortune is unusually concentrated in his own companies' stock rather than a diversified portfolio, which makes it especially volatile day to day.[1]

#2

Larry Page — $277.9 billion

Co-founded Google with Sergey Brin in 1998. He stepped back from day-to-day management of Alphabet years ago but remains a major shareholder and board member.[1]

#3

Michael Dell — $276.5 billion

Founded what became Dell Technologies in 1984 as a college freshman, selling custom-built PCs out of his dorm room. He still owns roughly the majority of the company today.[1]

#4

Jeff Bezos — $273.0 billion

Founded Amazon out of a garage in 1994. He stepped down as CEO in 2021 but remains executive chairman and the company's largest individual shareholder.[1]

#5

Sergey Brin — $255.8 billion

Google's other co-founder. Like Page, he's a major Alphabet shareholder who has largely stepped back from day-to-day operations.[1]
