Top 10 richest persons in the world: Elon Musk, at age 53, has regained his position as the world's wealthiest individual for the fourth time in five years! Elon Musk’s net worth has crossed the $400 billion wealth threshold. His net worth experienced a remarkable increase of $189 billion or 82%, largely due to the 'Trump effect' on Tesla's share value, said the report.

However, after January 15 2025, Musk's fortune has decreased by approximately $100 billion, influenced by his Doge investments, political activities, and rising competition from Chinese manufacturers affecting Tesla's market performance. Nevertheless, he maintains a substantial lead as the world’s richest person in 2025. (AP Photo)

Jeff Bezos, aged 61, ranks second on the list of the world’s top 10 richest persons. He has maintained his position at number two with $266 billion net worth with a 44% increase. His wealth expansion was largely attributed to Amazon's rising share value, as investors responded positively to the company's reduced operational expenses and its developments in artificial intelligence and cloud computing services.

Meta's CEO Mark Zuckerberg, aged 40, is third on the world’s richest persons list with a net worth of $242 billion, which is an increase of $84 billion. His remarkable rise in wealth stems from investors' positive outlook towards Meta's artificial intelligence capabilities and technological infrastructure. Throughout the previous year, Zuckerberg garnered significant attention for his intensive physical training programmes. (AFP Photo)

Warren Buffett, aged 94, maintained his position in the Top 5 wealthiest persons with a fortune of $167 billion, an increase of $23 billion. Despite his substantial wealth, he continues to lead a simple lifestyle, the report says. He has pledged to give away more than 99% of his fortune and has already donated over $60 billion, mainly through the Gates Foundation and his children's charitable foundations.

Top 10 richest persons in the world: Larry Page, aged 51, advanced three positions in the top 10 wealthiest individuals rankings to the 6th position, with his net worth increasing by 33% to reach $164 billion. This substantial growth was largely attributed to Alphabet's share value climbing by 33%. (AP Photo)

Bernard Arnault, aged 75, often referred to as the 'Luxury King', is the world’s 7th richest person. He experienced a substantial financial setback of $18 billion, which resulted in his descent to the seventh position with a net worth of $157 billion. The decline occurred as LVMH shares faced persistent pressure due to China's economic sluggishness, political instability in France, and growing resistance towards luxury consumption. (AFP Photo)

Steve Ballmer ranks 8th on the list of the world’s top 10 richest persons. Aged 68, Ballmer climbed to the eighth position with his net worth increasing by 10 per cent to $156 billion. His substantial wealth continues to be predominantly tied to his Microsoft shareholdings.

Sergey Brin, aged 51, advanced two positions to secure a place in the Top 10 richest persons list, as his net worth increased by 30% to $148 billion. This substantial growth primarily resulted from the considerable appreciation in Alphabet's share value. He has demonstrated notable charitable commitment, contributing $200 million towards climate-focused initiatives in the previous year. (AFP Photo)

Bill Gates, aged 69, is the 10th wealthiest person in the world. He has maintained his position among the Top 10, with a modest 4% increase in his fortune to $143 billion. His current business strategy centres on investment activities, following his significant reduction in Microsoft ownership from 45% during the initial public offering to a mere 1% at present.
