Top 30 Richest People in the world
In 2025, the number of billionaires worldwide surpassed 2,850 individuals, collectively representing nearly $15 trillion in wealth. The global billionaire population grew by 7% this year, continuing an upward trend. Beinsure Media has analyzed data from the Forbes Billionaires Index to present an updated ranking of the world’s wealthiest individuals as of April 2025.
These individuals belong to an elite group that wields considerable influence across the global economy, politics, and philanthropy. Many are founders of major technology companies, with substantial portions of their wealth still tied to the businesses they created.
While most people have a general sense of who these billionaires are, their true financial impact is far-reaching. Comprehensive net worth assessments and breakdowns are available on each billionaire’s profile page.
Interestingly, many billionaires utilize strategic financial tools to maintain and grow their wealth. Instead of selling shares and triggering capital gains taxes, they can borrow against their holdings—deferring or even eliminating taxes on unrealized gains. Additionally, a wide array of tax deductions and loopholes allow some ultra-wealthy individuals to report minimal—or even zero—taxable income in certain years.
