One new name has entered the list, and of the remaining 24 members, 23 have increased their wealth while only one has seen a decline. As a result, the combined net worth of these billionaires has surged by more than $340 billion since the last review, once again surpassing the $4 trillion mark and now reaching an impressive $4.26 trillion. πŸ”Ή The largest absolute gain in wealth over this period was recorded by $AMZN (Amazon.com Inc) founder Jeff Bezos, whose fortune grew by $37 billion. He now stands at $270 billion, tying for third place with Google co-founder Sergey Brin. This growth was largely driven by a significant rise in Amazon’s share price, fueled by improving AWS performance, ongoing efficiency measures, and increasing profitability. The broader upswing in the technology sectorβ€”especially due to advances in artificial intelligenceβ€”also played a major role. πŸ”Ή Another standout mover is $DELL (Dell Technologies Inc C) founder Michael Dell, who added more than $28 billion to his wealth. With a net worth of $172 billion, he jumped four places in the rankings to reach 7th position. This surge was primarily driven by a sharp increase in Dell Technologies’ stock price, as the company capitalized on booming demand for AI infrastructure, including servers and data centersβ€”one of the hottest areas in today’s tech market. πŸ”Ή Mining tycoon and Grupo MΓ©xico owner GermΓ‘n Larrea has re-entered the top 25 after a brief one-month absence. With a net worth of $74.3 billion, he now ranks 24th. His wealth growth was largely supported by rising copper pricesβ€”a key resource for the energy transition and electric vehicle productionβ€”boosting the value of Grupo MΓ©xico. πŸ”Ή The only individual on the list to see a decline in wealth during this period is legendary investor and $BRK.B (Berkshire Hathaway Inc) CEO Warren Buffett. While others gained, Buffett’s net worth fell by $2 billion, causing him to drop four positions from 10th to 14th place. This was mainly due to slightly weaker performance in Berkshire Hathaway’s stock, as well as the fact that his portfolio is more heavily weighted toward traditional industries, which have recently lagged behind the rapidly growing technology sectorβ€”especially amid the ongoing AI boom. $SPX500 $NSDQ100 $GOLD $BTC
