America’s richest self-made fortunes are increasingly built by newcomers.

This infographic spotlights the 10 wealthiest U.S. residents born abroad, a group whose combined net worth rivals the GDP of Switzerland.

From electric cars to cloud security, these founders and entrepreneurs illustrate how immigration shapes the U.S. wealth landscape.

The data for this visualization comes from Forbes Real-Time Billionaires. We filtered the July 2025 list to people who were born outside the United States but later became citizens or permanent residents.

Together, these 10 individuals are worth roughly $867 billion, and three tech titans—Elon Musk, Sergey Brin, and Jensen Huang—account for about 77% of that total.

Musk Leads

Elon Musk’s stakes in Tesla and SpaceX alone are valued at $393 billion, while Jensen Huang’s Nvidia fortune has swelled on the back of AI chip demand.

Sergey Brin still owns roughly 38 million Alphabet shares, cementing his place among the world’s richest. Collectively, tech accounts for seven spots on the list and more than four-fifths of total net worth.

Diverse Origins, One Destination

No two billionaires here share the same birth country. From South Africa to Taiwan and Hungary to Ukraine, the roster spans four continents and 10 national backgrounds.

Fortunes Beyond Silicon Valley

While tech rules, other industries still mint massive fortunes. Israeli-born physician Miriam Adelson inherited a controlling stake in Las Vegas Sands after her husband’s passing, while Rupert Murdoch moved from Australia to build a global media empire spanning Fox and News Corp.

Hungary’s Thomas Peterffy pioneered electronic trading at Interactive Brokers, and John Tu of China co-founded memory-chip maker Kingston Technology.
