About This Ranking

The top 100 richest individuals in the world control an outsized share of global tracked billionaire wealth. Most are founders or co-founders of technology, retail, or financial companies who have retained large equity stakes over decades. The composition of this list changes daily as stock prices fluctuate — a single percentage move in a large company's share price can add or remove billions from its founder's net worth.

All net worth figures are estimated from publicly available data including SEC filings, stock exchange prices, and company financial reports. Rankings are updated daily. Read our full methodology.
