Odaily News According to the latest report released by wealth intelligence firm Altrata, the number of billionaires worldwide surged to a record high in 2025, reaching 3,795—an increase of 8.2%, the strongest growth in five years. Rising stock markets, monetary stimulus policies, and the artificial intelligence (AI) investment boom have driven rapid wealth accumulation among the ultra-rich.The total wealth of billionaires grew by 12.8% in 2025, hitting a record $15.1 trillion—equivalent to nearly a quarter of the total market capitalization of the S&P 500. This marks the third consecutive year of accelerated wealth growth among billionaires, with the average billionaire now holding $4 billion in assets. In reality, however, the median net worth of billionaires stands at nearly $2 billion, reflecting the highly concentrated distribution of wealth among a small group of "super-billionaires."By region, North America saw the fastest growth in billionaire population at 11.6%, outpacing all other regions and reaching 1,337 individuals (35% of the global total). Europe recorded its second consecutive year of growth, with the number of billionaires rising nearly 8% to 1,081 (28% of the global total). Asia ranked as the third-largest region for billionaires, with an increase of 6.5% to 881 individuals.The report noted that since 2023, the AI investment boom has been one of the most significant drivers of global billionaire wealth creation, with its impact becoming even more pronounced in 2025 and the first half of 2026. Investor enthusiasm for generative AI, large language models, cloud computing, and AI software has attracted unprecedented capital, driving substantial market value revaluations across many tech companies. Since billionaire wealth is typically concentrated in corporate equity, founders and major shareholders of the world's leading tech companies have emerged as the biggest beneficiaries of the AI-driven tech stock rally, which has directly translated into significant growth in personal net worth.
