Note: This list is sorted by the richest two billionaires in each region, followed by country names alphabetically. The net worth labels are condensed to be readable, however they do not sort numerically.

His net worth is nearly double that of Bernard Arnault of France, the next-richest person from a different country at $178 billion.

In fact, Musk’s wealth surpasses the combined total of Africa’s richest billionaires, underscoring the vast concentration of wealth in tech-driven industries.

For further context, Musk trailed Arnault at around this time last year. A bumper year for Tesla stock has significantly grown Musk’s fortune.

It’s also worth remembering that Arnault is actually ranked fifth on the overall richest people list, with other Americans, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, and Larry Ellison all out-billionaire-ing him.

The Richest Billionaire in Every Continent

Asia’s richest man is India’s Mukesh Ambani, with $92.5 billion, fueled by his conglomerate Reliance Industries.

In Europe, the aforementioned Bernard Arnault leads, followed by Spain’s Amancio Ortega at $124 billion.

Brazil’s Eduardo Saverin (best-known as Facebook’s co-founder) is the richest in South America with $34.5 billion.

Meanwhile, in Africa, Nigeria’s Aliko Dangote tops the list with $23.9 billion, thanks largely to his cement empire.

Some countries feature surprising household names, like Rihanna in Barbados with $1.4 billion.

Others have lower-profile but highly influential figures, such as Pavel Durov in the UAE at $17.1 billion from his tech ventures.

Wealth Gaps Across Continents

While the disparity in general wealth ownership in stark, then the disparity between the richest individuals across countries is equally unfathomable.

Several billionaires hold under $2 billion in net worth, like Thor Bjorgolfsson of Iceland, while others surpass $100 billion.

This spread reflects differences in economic scale, market opportunities, and the role of industries in generating massive fortunes.

Interestingly, many of the top fortunes are concentrated in consumer goods, tech, and finance, pointing to sectors with the highest potential for wealth creation in the 21st century.
