Deep Tide TechFlow News, December 26 — According to Forbes, the combined wealth of the world’s top ten billionaires in 2025 has increased by over $730 billion. Elon Musk leads the list with a $333.2 billion increase, becoming the first person in the world to surpass $700 billion in personal wealth, totaling $754.4 billion. Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin rank second and third, with increases of $98.7 billion and $86.1 billion respectively.
Notably, American billionaires account for six of the top ten winners, contributing over 85% of the wealth growth, mainly driven by the investment boom in artificial intelligence. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, Oracle founder Larry Ellison, and Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg have all benefited from the rise in tech stocks.
