Sultan Bolkiah is far from the richest person on earth. In fact, according to the Forbes list of global billionaires, #10 on the list is three times richer. (But, of course, the sultan takes the prize for collecting luxury cars.)
The top four on the list made their fortunes in the American technology sector. After Elon Musk comes Mark Zuckerberg (Meta), Jeff Bezos (Amazon), and Larry Ellison (Oracle). The U.S. has the most billionaires, China is next, followed by India with its own ~200 billionaires.
A minority inherited the money, but about two thirds of them created their own fortunes. Factors like the value of their investments and businesses are considered when Forbes figures out their net worth, and one of the investigators explains it below.
