The Hurun Global Rich List for 2025 has just been released, and it’s no surprise that Elon Musk, the owner of Tesla and SpaceX, is still holding onto his number one position. On the other hand, Indian billionaire Mukesh Ambani has dropped out of the top 10, although he still proudly stands as the richest person in Asia.
In the overall rankings, the top four spots are dominated by Silicon Valley tech giants: Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, and Larry Ellison, with the ever-popular investor Warren Buffett completing the top five. It’s interesting to note that the majority of the top 10 is made up of American businessmen and investors, including the long-time rich list staple, Bill Gates.

Elon Musk has kept his place at the top even though he’s faced problems with sales figures and stock prices. People have been unhappy about his political ties to the Donald Trump administration.
