Elon Musk has reclaimed his position as the world's richest individual, surpassing Bernard Arnault on Forbes' 39th Annual Billionaires list, while President Donald Trump has seen his wealth more than double, highlighting significant shifts in the global financial landscape.
Elon Musk has reclaimed the title of the world’s richest individual, according to Forbes' annual billionaires list, despite facing financial challenges and some criticism related to his involvement with the Trump administration.
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump has seen his wealth more than double, as reported by metro.co.uk.
Forbes' 39th Annual World’s Billionaires list, released on Tuesday, features a record 3,028 billionaires, the highest number since the list’s inception in 1987. This year’s list includes a record 15 individuals with wealth surpassing $10 billion, collectively contributing to a combined net worth of $16.1 trillion.
Musk, the CEO of Tesla, SpaceX, and owner of X (formerly Twitter), saw his net worth rise by 75%, reaching approximately $342 billion. He became the first person ever to exceed $300 billion in wealth, overtaking Bernard Arnault, CEO of LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton, the world's largest luxury goods company.
Musk’s wealth spike is attributed to the rising valuations of SpaceX and xAI, as well as a consistent increase in Tesla stock. Despite a 36% drop in Tesla stock during the first quarter of this year, Musk’s fortune remains largely unaffected, securing his top position in the 2025 list.
