Top 100 Richest People In The World 2025

The race to the top of the global rich list is anything but stable. Fortunes rise fast—and fall even faster. From Japan’s real estate kings of the 1990s to Silicon Valley’s tech giants and Europe’s luxury moguls, global wealth—and celebrity net worth—reflects the pulse of shifting industries and economic tides.

Bill Gates ruled for nearly two decades. Warren Buffett had his moment. Then came Jeff Bezos, the first “centibillionaire,” followed by Elon Musk, who redefined what modern wealth looks like.

But for every billionaire success story, there's a collapse waiting in the wings. Explore both sides of extreme wealth—from historic highs to shocking celebrity net worth crashes. Below, you’ll find the latest list of the world’s richest individuals, updated daily as fortunes rise, fall, and reshape the global economy.

All figures accurate as of today and subject to real-time market fluctuations.
