Tech Titans Dominate Global Wealth Rankings as Oracle's Ellison Soars

As of September 10th, 2025, the global billionaire rankings have become increasingly dominated by tech titans. The most notable development is the staggering $101 billion gain in a single day by Oracle's Larry Ellison, making him one of the wealthiest individuals on the planet.

The surge in Ellison's fortune came after Oracle's shares soared 41% on Wednesday, their biggest one-day jump in history. This impressive performance was driven by the company's strong quarterly results, which exceeded Wall Street's expectations and highlighted Oracle's growth prospects in cloud computing and artificial intelligence.

While Ellison's wealth has skyrocketed, the fortunes of other tech leaders have seen mixed results. Tesla's Elon Musk, for instance, has experienced a 13% drop in his wealth this year, but his massive performance-linked pay package could eventually make him the world's first trillionaire.

Elsewhere, Meta's Mark Zuckerberg holds the third spot with a net worth of $269 billion, buoyed by his company's investments in AI. Amazon founder Jeff Bezos ranks fourth at $258 billion, continuing to expand his portfolio from e-commerce to space exploration.

The tech dominance extends to Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, as well as Nvidia's Jensen Huang, who has benefited from the AI-driven chip boom. The only non-tech leaders in the top tier are French luxury tycoon Bernard Arnault and Berkshire Hathaway's Warren Buffett.

With Ellison's record-breaking gain, the world's wealthiest club has become more tech-centric than ever before, reflecting the industry's continued influence and growth.
