Nvidia's Huang and Adani Tipped to Outpace Bezos in Wealth Race

As of September 5th, 2025, the world's wealthiest individuals are facing a potential shakeup. While Jeff Bezos has long been one of the top five richest people globally, thanks to the meteoric rise of Amazon, a new generation of billionaires is emerging with the potential to surpass his wealth.

At the forefront of this challenge is Jensen Huang, the co-founder and CEO of Nvidia. Huang's company has been at the heart of the artificial intelligence revolution, powering the machines that handle the massive demand for AI computing. In the past three years alone, Huang's net worth has grown by over $120 billion, and Nvidia recently became the most valuable company in the world, with a market capitalization of over $4 trillion. If Nvidia continues to grow at even a fraction of its recent pace, Huang could eclipse Bezos' wealth in the next few years.

Another billionaire on the rise is Guatam Adani, the founder of the Adani Group, a holding company with investments in ports, airports, power generation, and more. Adani owns over 70% of the company, and his net worth is approaching $65 billion. Some reports have even suggested that Adani is on track to become a trillionaire in his lifetime, potentially surpassing Bezos as the world's wealthiest individual.

The son of Red Bull co-founder Dietrich Mateschitz, Mark Mateschitz, has also recently inherited 49% of the company due to his father's passing. As the former head of organics for the company, Mateschitz is well-positioned to help steer Red Bull into the future, potentially adding to his already substantial wealth.

While Bezos' impact on everyday consumers is undeniable, these up-and-coming billionaires are building companies that could have just as much, if not more, impact on the world. The race to become the world's wealthiest person is heating up, and the next few years could see a significant shift in the global wealth landscape.
