The world’s top 10 world’s top 10 richest people got $201 billion richer in September, as U.S. stock markets hit new all-time highs during the month. As a group, this elite subset of Forbes’ billionaires list is now worth $2.3 trillion combined as of 12 AM Eastern on October 1, and all but three of them are wealthier than they were at the end of August.
The world’s two richest people, Elon Musk and Larry Ellison, were also the two biggest gainers, accounting for nearly three-quarters of the top 10’s total increase in wealth. Musk added $75.2 billion to his fortune as Tesla’s stock soared by 33%, helping Musk secure the No. 1 spot for the 17th straight month. With a $491 billion fortune, Musk is now within spitting distance of becoming the first person ever worth half a trillion dollars. Musk also widened his lead over runner-up Ellison to $149 billion, despite a $70.9 billion boost to the Oracle cofounder’s net worth as shares of his software giant shot up by 24%.
Nvidia cofounder Jensen Huang was the only member of the top 10 who moved up in the ranking—and one of only three whose ranking changed. Huang jumped two spots to No. 7, as shares of his chipmaker climbed by 7% and boosted Huang’s fortune by $10.7 billion. That was enough for Huang to overtake the top 10’s lone non-American, Frenchman Bernard Arnault of LVMH, and former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, who each dropped a spot to No. 8 and No. 9, respectively, despite both of them getting slightly richer over the past month.
The world’s fourth richest person, Jeff Bezos, was the biggest loser, as shares of Amazon fell by 4%, shaving $8.4 billion off the fortune of the retailer’s founder. Mark Zuckerberg (No. 3) and Warren Buffett (No. 10) also saw their fortunes fall by $1.5 billion and $200 million, respectively.

A certain last name that’s frequently associated with banking and wealth never, ever seems to be on these lists either for some strange reason.

The difference between 1st and 5th is 288.6B
That's good enough to take 3rd place.

It's a conspiracy that the conspiracy that I accept isn't validated by the media. Must be another conspiracy.

The crazy part is Elon’s $75BB move in a month.
That’s 750,000 x $100,000 swing. In a month!

Their wealth isn’t public knowledge.
Most of the wealth calculation is done via stock ownership.

It's wild that Steve Ballmer is above Gates when he didn't create anything and was a bad CEO.
