Three ultra-rich figures globally amass a staggering $1 trillion fortune collectively.
Headline: The Soaring Fortunes of Elon Musk, Larry Ellison, and Mark Zuckerberg
In the realm of global finance, three names have risen to the top, each associated with a different tech titan. Elon Musk, CEO and entrepreneur of Tesla and SpaceX, Larry Ellison, founder and major shareholder of Oracle Corporation, and Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta Platforms (formerly Facebook), hold the distinction of being the world's three wealthiest individuals.
As of recent estimates, Musk's fortune stands at an impressive $419 billion, Ellison's at $349 billion, and Zuckerberg's at $265 billion. Their stakes in their respective companies are substantial - Musk owns approximately 13% of Tesla and 42% of SpaceX, Ellison holds about a 41% stake in Oracle, and Zuckerberg has a 13% stake in Meta.
The combined net worth of these three individuals has surged, reaching a staggering $1.03 trillion. In 2025, this collective wealth has seen a significant increase. Notably, Ellison's net worth has nearly doubled, surging by $157 billion, due to Oracle stock soaring over 75% since January 1. Zuckerberg's wealth has also jumped by $58 billion, fueled by Meta stock's 29% gain.
However, no new news about the growth of Oracle, SpaceX, or Meta stock was provided. The world's three wealthiest individuals have collectively added a net $434 billion to their joint fortunes this year, boosting their combined wealth to $3.2 trillion.
Elon Musk's vision for the future economy involves the use of humanoid robots. Musk could potentially become the world's first trillionaire if a proposed new pay package is approved. No new news about this potential milestone was provided.
The growth in the net worth of these three individuals is largely attributed to investor optimism surrounding artificial intelligence's potential to reduce corporate costs and enhance profitability. Tesla shares rebounded in premarket trading, reflecting this sentiment. Despite this, no new news about the impact of artificial intelligence on corporate costs and profitability was provided.
The 17 members of the $100 billion club, which includes these three individuals, have seen their fortunes rise significantly this year. However, no new news about the combined wealth of Elon Musk, Larry Ellison, and Mark Zuckerberg was provided. The focus remains on these tech moguls and their continued impact on the global economy.
