Top 10 richest people in the world (November 2025): Elon Musk, the world’s richest individual with a net worth of $491.4 billion as of November 2025, according to Forbes’ Real-time Billionaire list, is on track to become history’s first trillionaire.
Furthermore, this will widen the gap between him and Larry Ellison, who follows next for the third time in a row and has a $$298.9B net worth.
Notably, LVMH’s Bernard Arnault rose to #7 from #10, witnessing an increase of $11.2 billion in his net worth.
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.
It’s a modest gain compared to last month, as August was a mixed month for the world’s wealthiest; six billionaires became richer, while the remaining four witnessed a decline in their net worth, as reported by Forbes.
The world’s top ten richest people are men, with 9 of them Americans and just LVMH’s Bernard Arnault from France. Each of them still has a net worth estimated at $150 billion or more, which is an increase from $143 billion last month.
