The 2025 list features a total of 3,028 billionaires, according to Forbes' current estimates. That's the most since the media outlet created the list.

T he world’s billionaire club has never been more crowded, reaching a record 3,028 members in 2025. Still, as in 2024, about a quarter of the list saw their net worth shrink compared to the previous year. For 107 entrepreneurs, investors and heirs on last year’s list, the drop was steep enough to knock them out of the three-comma club altogether.

Miriam Adelson was worth more in 2025 compared to the previous year but still moved down in Forbes annual list of the world’s wealthiest people.
