TODAY’S MOVERS

In the latest snapshot, the biggest 24-hour gain in the top 50 belongs to Elon Musk (+$13.08B, 1.51%), and the biggest fall to Larry Ellison ($-4.85B, -2.83%). This paragraph is generated from the same data as the list above and refreshes with it.

HOW THE RANKING WORKS

The list is not our own estimate. It is Forbes’ real-time net worth data, fetched server-side and cached for 15 minutes. Each person’s net worth is converted to billions of US dollars, and the 24-hour change compares the current figure with the previous estimate.

Net worth here is an estimate of assets minus debts, and much of it is stock in companies the person founded or owns. So rankings move with markets and currencies throughout the day, and ties in rank can occur. If Forbes is briefly unreachable, the last good snapshot is served instead.

REAL-TIME BILLIONAIRES — FAQ

How often is the Real-Time Billionaires Tracker updated?

The tracker refreshes every 15 minutes. Net worth figures are pulled from Forbes’ real-time data through a server-side proxy and held in a 15-minute memory cache, so the numbers stay current without ever overloading the upstream source.

Where does the billionaire net worth data come from?

All figures come from Forbes’ Real-Time Billionaires data feed. We fetch it server-side, convert the raw values to clean billions, and cache the result. If Forbes is briefly unreachable, the last good snapshot is served automatically.

Who is the richest person in the world right now?

The tracker ranks the world’s wealthiest people live by current net worth, with the top spot updating automatically as markets and currencies move. See the list above for the current number-one and the full top standings.
