Top 10 richest people in the world as of July 2025 list: Global business leaders and entrepreneurs seem to have seen a rise in their wealth and net worth through innovation and strategic foresight as the Forbes' list of the world’s billionaires rose to 3,028 and is worth $16.1 trillion in total in 2025. Elon Musk, with an estimated net worth of $393.1 billion, remains the world's richest person in July 2025; however, his net worth dropped by an estimated $16 billion to $407 billion in June. Musk has held the position of being the world's richest since May 2024 and made headlines last year by becoming the first billionaire ever to exceed a net worth of $400 billion, primarily due to SpaceX’s staggering valuation of $350 billion. In July 2025, Larry Ellison, the co-founder and chairman of Oracle, rose from the fourth to the second-richest person in the world. With his net worth reaching approximately $275.9 billion, Ellison experienced a remarkable increase of $56 billion since the beginning of June, largely propelled by a 32% surge in Oracle’s stock prices. This significant growth enabled him to surpass Mark Zuckerberg of Meta and Jeff Bezos of Amazon, who are now ranked as the third and fourth-richest individuals, respectively. Jensen Huang, CEO and co-founder of NVIDIA — the most valuable company in the world — experienced a boost in his fortune as well, with an estimated increase of $20 billion, bringing his total net worth to $137 billion. This rise led Huang to move up a rank to 10th, displacing Amancio Ortega of Inditex, who is known for the Zara brand, at the 12th position.
