About: Countries by Number of Billionaires 2026
Overview of the data behind this chart
Countries ranked by the total number of resident individuals with a net worth exceeding one billion USD in 2026, according to the Forbes World's Billionaires List and Hurun Global Rich List. The United States hosts more billionaires than any other country by a wide margin — with over 800 individuals holding ten-figure net worths concentrated in technology, finance, real estate, and healthcare sectors. Silicon Valley alone accounts for a disproportionate share of American billionaire wealth creation, reflecting the extraordinary equity appreciation that early founders and investors in Apple, Google, Meta, Amazon, and the subsequent generation of technology platforms have experienced as those companies scaled to serve billions of users globally.
