Over the past year, the global wealth landscape has undergone dramatic changes. More than 340 new billionaires have emerged, a 50% surge compared to the five-year average. The total wealth of the world's rich has surpassed $18.7 trillion, an increase of $3.6 trillion annually, doubling since 2020.

The most shocking development is the expansion of the billionaires' club with over $10 billion—now there are 19 members, whereas six years ago, only Jeff Bezos held this position alone. This reflects not just wealth growth but also the redistribution of wealth driven by technological innovation.

The top ten billionaires have collectively gained over $700 billion in the past year. Elon Musk alone accounts for $330.9 billion, an increase that exceeds Larry Page's entire net worth by $70 billion. This year's gains are equivalent to a lifetime of savings for ordinary people. The dual explosions of Tesla and SpaceX are the main drivers, especially SpaceX, whose market value has doubled to over $800 billion, becoming a key pillar supporting his wealth.

The single-day wealth increase record was set by Oracle founder Larry Ellison—last September, his stock surged 36% in one day, adding nearly $100 billion to his wealth. Although there was a subsequent 40% correction, his wealth has still increased by $40 billion since the beginning of the year.

The AI wave is also rewriting the billionaire rankings. Larry Page and Sergey Brin soared thanks to Gemini AI, but even more astonishing is Jensen Huang—NVIDIA's stock rose 30.37% annually, with a market cap reaching $4.58 trillion, topping the global list. Behind these figures is the market's revaluation of technological innovation and future business prospects.
