In 2025, the assets of the 500 richest people in the world increased by a record $2.2 trillion, marking a significant achievement. The main factors contributing to this growth include the rise of stock markets, interest in artificial intelligence, rising commodity prices, and political changes following Donald Trump's victory in the elections at the end of 2024.
Among those who significantly increased their wealth are businessmen such as Larry Ellison (Oracle), Elon Musk (Tesla, SpaceX), Gina Rinehart (Hancock Prospecting), and Donald Trump with his family (Trump Media, cryptocurrency projects). Their fortunes grew due to successes in artificial intelligence, commodity markets, media, and cryptocurrencies. However, high volatility in financial markets also led to significant losses for a number of billionaires. Those affected include Manuel Villar (Golden MV Holdings), Bob Pender and Mike Sabel (Venture Global), Michael Saylor (Strategy), and Wang Xin (Meituan).
In conclusion, Bloomberg found that 2025 was a record year for wealth concentration, but also emphasized the vulnerability of assets dependent on cryptocurrencies, IPOs, and high-risk corporate strategies.
