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

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