The world’s Richest People in 2025 — the number of billionaires in the world 2.850+ individuals — represent almost $15 trln in wealth. The global billionaire population continued to grow in 2025, increasing by 7%. Beinsure Media has collected the Forbes Billionaires Index data and presents a ranking of the world’s richest people as March 2025.
The individuals on this list belong to an even more exclusive club and wield still more power. Many are founders of technology giants, with much of their wealth still invested in the companies they started.
Billionaires play an outsized role in shaping the global economy, politics, and philanthropy. Details about the calculations are provided in the net worth analysis on each billionaire’s profile page.
These billionaires can, however, still borrow against that wealth to avoid selling stock, deferring (or eliminating for heirs) taxes on unrealized capital gains in the process. Multi-billionaires can also take advantage of a panoply of tax deductions to offset reported income, leaving some on this list paying no income tax in recent years.
