According to updates from Forbes on April 8, 2026, the assets of the 5 richest billionaires in the world have fluctuated. Billionaire Elon Musk - CEO of Tesla - owns assets estimated at 799 billion USD. Compared to the previous session, his assets decreased by 4.4 billion USD, equivalent to 0.55%. However, he still maintains the position of the richest person in the world on Forbes' real-time ranking.

Ranked second is billionaire Larry Page, co-founder and member of the Board of Directors (BOD) of Alphabet. This technology billionaire is owning assets of about 251.7 billion USD, an increase of 4.6 billion USD, equivalent to 1.86% (according to Forbes updated on April 8, 2026). The strong increase in Larry Page's assets continues to reflect the rebound of the technology stock group, especially Alphabet in the recent period.

The third richest person in the world is billionaire Sergey Brin - co-founder and board member of Alphabet. According to Forbes updated data, he owns 232.3 billion USD, an increase of 4.2 billion USD, equivalent to 1.85%. The fact that both Larry Page and Sergey Brin are in the top shows the increasing influence of the Alphabet ecosystem in the global technology market.

In 4th place in the world is billionaire Jeff Bezos - Chairman and founder of Amazon - holding assets of about 227.1 billion USD. His assets increased by 865 million USD, equivalent to 0.38%. Although no longer holding the leading position as many years ago, Jeff Bezos is still one of the most influential faces in the global technology business community.

Closing the top 5 richest people in the world is billionaire Mark Zuckerberg with assets of 197.5 billion USD, an increase of about 688 million USD. The co-founder of Meta is currently ranked 5th in the world, continuing to maintain its position in the group of the richest billionaires on the planet thanks to the growth momentum of the technology business he founded.

In general, the asset ranking of technology billionaires shows that the global wealth race is still closely linked to the stock fluctuations of major technology corporations. Among the top 5 richest people in the world today, except for Elon Musk, who recorded a decrease in the session, the remaining billionaires all increased their assets, showing that technology is still the field that creates the largest and fastest-moving asset in the world.
