Oracle founder Larry Ellison overtook Elon Musk to take the title of the world’s richest person earlier this month - even if only briefly.
Ellison is one of several billionaires benefiting massively by the boom in Artificial Intelligence.
He’s recently been advising President Donald Tump on the new technology - one of numerous billionaires seemingly enthralled by the divisive leader who spectacularly fell out with Tesla founder Elon Musk earlier this year.
The mega-rich are far less rare than they used to be, with Forbes magazine revealing last year that there were a record 2,781 billionaires in the world.
Famous faces making their first appearance in the list included fashion designer Christian Louboutin ($1.2 billion), NBA legend Magic Johnson ($1.2 billon), TV producer Dick Wolf ($1.2 billion) and pop star Taylor Swift ($1.1 billion).
They all have some way to go to catch up with the 11 richest people in the world in September 2025.
Here they are, and how much they are worth, according to the experts at Forbes.
