Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg are among six individuals whose net worths surpass $200 billion, marking a new threshold for the ultra-wealthy. Previously, the milestone was $100 billion, but rapid growth in tech and AI wealth has doubled the benchmark.
According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, each individual in this group possesses a fortune greater than the market value of many major American corporations, including PepsiCo, Uber, Walt Disney, and Intel, all valued around $200 billion as of Thursday’s market close.
