Who are the three richest people in the world in June 2024 😱🔥
Get ready to find out who occupies the highest places on this month's billionaires list! In a surprising turn of events, Elon Musk returns to the top as the richest person in the world, thanks to his new venture in artificial intelligence. Over Memorial Day weekend, his startup xAI managed to raise a whopping $6 billion from private investors, valuing the company at $24 billion. With a 60% stake in xAI, Musk saw his fortune rise to more than $210 billion on June 1.
Just behind Musk, we find luxury goods mogul Bernard Arnault. Arnault, who topped the list between February and May, saw his fortune decrease by $7.8 billion after a 5% drop in LVMH group shares, resulting in a current fortune of $201.6 billion.
Mark Zuckerberg had the biggest growth among the top 10, with his fortune increasing by $12.6 billion, thanks to an 8.5% rise in Meta shares. Now, it occupies 4th place in the ranking, with US$ 163.8 billion.
And the legendary Bill Gates? Although his fortune is estimated at a hefty $129.4 billion, he now ranks ninth. Gates has not seen such a low position since the early 1990s, the result of his generous donations of nearly $59 billion and a costly divorce in 2021.
In total, the 10 richest people in the world accumulate a combined fortune of almost US$1.59 trillion – an increase of approximately US$50 billion in just one month.
