World's Richest People 2026

About This Dataset

Elon Musk's net worth is more than three times that of the next person on this list, and almost all of it is unrealised equity in Tesla and SpaceX rather than cash or liquid assets. Eight of these ten fortunes come from technology; Bernard Arnault's luxury goods group and Amancio Ortega's Zara are the exceptions. Figures at this level move by tens of billions on ordinary trading days.
