Top 10 richest people in the world (September 2025): Forbes’ top 10 world billionaires’ net worth now stands at $2.13 trillion combined, a rise by a mere 1%, or $21 billion, as of September 2025.

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 0 billion. (File)
