Wealth changes often; however, a number of people are always on top. In this post, we will share with you details of 10 richest men in the world at the moment and give you some background information about their businesses.
Bernard Arnault & family
Bernard Arnault who is the chairman and CEO of LVMH (Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton) stands as the world’s wealthiest man with a remarkable net worth of $233 billion. With more than 70 famous brands such as Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior, Sephora, and Tiffany & Co, LVMH is the biggest company of its kind globally. One of the main reasons behind which Bernard Arnault has become successful is that he owes his success largely to growing demand for luxury goods in Asia specifically.
Elon Musk
Elon Musk is an innovative entrepreneur who doesn’t require a formal introduction thanks to his involvement in Tesla and SpaceX companies. In 2022 he had held this slot briefly but now his worth is estimated at the world’s second richest after Arnault. A large proportion of his total income is accumulated from Tesla Inc. which made possible for modern electric car manufacture. Moreover his activities in conquering cosmos through another branch called Space X are breaking new grounds and drawing much attention from the broad public.
Jeff Bezos
Jeff Bezos, who founded and is the current chairman of Amazon, is a major player in both the technology and retail industries. His wealth is mostly due to Amazon’s dominance in online sales, and cloud services. Even though he is no longer the CEO, he still wields great power within the firm.
Mark Zuckerberg
Mark Zuckerberg, the man who founded a social network named Facebook now called Meta Platforms is among those who run it. Meta is still a major player on the web, despite its issues with user interaction and protection of user’s information. Most of Mark Zuckerberg’s fortune was made from his stake in Facebook’s company shares.
Larry Ellison
One of the most significant developers in technology is Larry Ellison who serves as co-founder and ex-CEO Oracle Corporation. Oracle, an important organisation globally, uses database software developed by Ellison. He resigned as CEO in 2014 but still occupies the position of chairman and CTO (Chief Technology Officer).
Warren Buffett
A conglomerate with holdings in different sectors is led by Warren Buffett, one of the greatest investors of all time and sometimes referred to as “the Oracle of Omaha”. He has earned huge wealth because he follows value investment principles and is interested in the future growth of the company.
Bill Gates
Bill Gates was a prominent figure of the personal computer revolution who together with others created Microsoft. Despite stepping down from Microsoft’s daily operations, he remains significant because of his charity work and activity in the field of technology.
Steve Ballmer
During his time as CEO, Steve Ballmer was in charge of the company’s significant growth. He’s no longer part of Microsoft but he still has huge amounts of money as a result of his earlier leadership and sustained investments.
Larry Page
Larry Page was a co-founder of Google (now Alphabet Inc.) with Sergey Brin, they changed how we find things through searching on the internet. Even if he does not do so anymore, considering what he has done and the fact that he was part of this well-known company ensures that he earns a spot there.
Sergey Brin
The other founder of Alphabet Inc. is Sergey Brin who founded the company along with Larry Page; also, similarly to Page Sergey Brin’s connection and power over the technology giant has made him one of the richest people globally.
It must always be at the back of our minds that wealth is never constant. Stocks up or down, new business ventures succeed or fail hence these leaders might change positions down or up the list. Nevertheless, the lives we experience now have been designed by rich guys who are among the top ten globally.
