The explosion of artificial intelligence (AI), space technology and technology stocks has continued to create asset leaps for the world's leading billionaires. Among them, Elon Musk is the most prominent name when he became the first person to exceed the 1,000 billion USD mark, setting a very large gap with the rest in the ranking - according to Forbes updates as of June 15.
Elon Musk: The first person to reach 1,100 billion USD
Topping the list is billionaire Elon Musk with an estimated fortune of 1,100 billion USD.
The founder of Tesla, SpaceX and xAI continues to consolidate their position as the richest person on the planet thanks to the strong increase in value of the technology businesses he holds. In particular, SpaceX is increasingly expanding its role in the commercial aerospace field, while xAI has emerged as one of the fastest growing AI companies in the world.
In addition, Musk also owns significant stakes in Neuralink and The Boring Company. The development of AI, robotics, electric vehicles and space technology has helped this billionaire's assets increase to unprecedented levels in modern history.
Larry Page: Benefiting from the global AI race
Ranked second is Larry Page - co-founder of Alphabet, Google's parent company, with assets of 294.1 billion USD.
Although no longer directly managing the group, Larry Page is still one of Alphabet's largest shareholders. His asset value increased sharply thanks to the increase in technology stocks, especially as Google continuously expanded investment in AI, cloud computing and new generation search platforms.
Google's pioneering role in the field of data and artificial intelligence continues to help Larry Page maintain his position in the group of the richest people in the world.
Sergey Brin: Accompanying the development of Alphabet
In third place is Sergey Brin with assets of 271.3 billion USD.
As co-founder of Google with Larry Page, Sergey Brin still holds a large stake in Alphabet. In the context of an increasingly fierce AI race, the group's market capitalization continues to increase sharply, leading to his assets constantly increasing.
The fact that both Larry Page and Sergey Brin are in the top 3 richest people in the world shows Alphabet's financial strength in the booming AI era.
Jeff Bezos: Maintaining his position in the top billionaire group
Ranked fourth is Jeff Bezos with assets of 248.9 billion USD.
The founder of Amazon is still one of the most influential figures in the global e-commerce and cloud computing sector. Although he has left the position of CEO, Bezos still owns a significant stake in Amazon.
The stable growth of the AWS cloud service segment and online retail activities continue to be an important driving force helping Bezos' assets maintain at hundreds of billions of USD.
Larry Ellison: Continue to benefit from the AI wave
Closing the top 5 is Larry Ellison with assets of 231.5 billion USD.

The dominance of technology billionaires in the top 5 shows that AI, data, cloud computing and space technology are becoming the fields that create the largest asset value in the world. In which, Elon Musk with assets of 1,100 billion USD has created an unprecedented gap with the rest, marking a new milestone in the history of global wealth.
