Led by Musk, Zuckerberg, and Huang Renxun, the total wealth of the world's top 500 billionaires exceeds $10 trillion in 2024

On January 1, Jin Shi Data reported that under the leadership of Musk, Zuckerberg, and Huang Renxun, the wealthiest 500 people in the world reached a new milestone in 2024: a total net worth of $10 trillion. The unstoppable rise of U.S. tech stocks played a key role in the wealth growth of these three individuals and similarly boosted the net worth of Larry Ellison, Bezos, Michael Dell, and Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, with just these eight tech giants' assets increasing by over $600 billion in 2024. Dominating the 2024 global billionaire list is Musk, the so-called 'first buddy' of incoming U.S. President Trump, whose close relationship with Trump has helped elevate the value of his companies, bringing his wealth to an unprecedented $442.1 billion, an increase of $213 billion since the beginning of the year.
