Forbes Billionaire List 2024

what a year it’s been for the planet’s billionaires, whose fortunes continue to swell as global stock markets shrug off war, political unrest and lingering inflation. There are now more billionaires than ever: 2,781 in all, 141 more than last year and 26 more than the record set in 2021. They’re richer than ever, worth $14.2 trillion in aggregate, up by $2 trillion from 2023 and $1.1 trillion above the previous record, also set in 2021. Two-thirds of the list’s members are worth more than a year ago; only one fourth are poorer. Much of the gains come from the top 20, who added a combined $700 billion in wealth since 2023, and from the U.S., which now boasts a record 813 billionaires worth a combined $5.7 trillion.
China remains second, with 473 (including Hong Kong) worth $1.7 trillion, despite weak consumer spending and a real estate bust that helped wipe out some $300 billion in wealth. India, which has 200 billionaires (also a record), ranks third. To calculate net worths, we used stock prices and exchange rates from March 8, 2024. See below for the full list of the world’s billionaires and our methodology. For daily updated net worths of all 2,781 billionaires, check out our real-time billionaires rankings.

Of course they’ve gotten richer, this is what they profit off the most!

If I wasn't too lazy to dig all this change out my couch I'd be top 20, no doubt.

I missed it this year, but you have my word, I’ll give my damnest to be on it next year.
If not for Biden, I’d have gotten on it last year.

Peter Jackson is a billionaire? Holy shite. The Lord of the Rings did wonders for that guy.

The Chouest family at only 2b is laughable. The vessel fleet alone is worth more than that.

Can't determine their level of wealth without pics!

Better be careful, he'll assemble his alter army and down vote stalk you for talking like that.

I know for certain Grant Cardone is on there. Don’t even bother checking!

Let this fact sink in … Musk is worth more than $60B more than Buffet.
Also, I am closer in wealth to Todd Graves’ $9B than Graves is to Elon by a long shot. Funny how figures can indeed lie.

Buffet is so diversified you probably can’t find most of it.

I wonder who has the most “cash” on hand? I bet some cartel don.

Do they own the fleet or do a bunch of banks?

Typically they always owned and leased their boats
