Top 10 Richets people 2023

Who will be among the richest people in the world in 2023? Every year, the US business magazine Forbes presents a corresponding list and updates it over the course of the year. The top spots have been dominated by entrepreneurs from the USA for years. This year the podium looks more international: most of the rich men in the ranking still come from the USA. However, a European recently took first place. Some billionaires have suffered heavy losses, while others – particularly in tech – have continued to expand their businesses as a result of the pandemic.

For example, after the price of the meta share fell, Mark Zuckerberg lost his place in the top ten for the first time since 2015. The Facebook founder lost more than 20 billion US dollars within a few hours. His place goes to the new richest man in India.

1st place: Bernard Arnault, France

The richest European and at the same time the richest person in the world is currently Bernard Arnault from France. Bernard Arnault and his family will have a combined net worth of $181.7 billion as of 2023.

The entrepreneur of the Holding Group Arnault invests primarily in luxury items and brands such as Givenchy, Fendi, and Marc Jacobs. He is also the owner of the business newspaper Les Echos. Due to the enormous increase in wealth, the Frenchman currently holds first place among the world’s richest people.

2nd place: Elon Musk, USA

Tesla CEO Elon Musk is the second richest person in the world. Until recently, Musk was thought to be the first person to surpass $300 billion. Most notably value-added, Tesla‘s stock split last year and its huge gain in value-added billions of dollars to its assets. For a long time, the Tesla boss dominated the ranking of the richest people in the world. However, the expensive purchase of Twitter and the currently ailing Tesla share price is from currently banning Musk to second place.

Musk now has a net worth of approximately $146.5 billion.
