00:00We all wonder now and again who the wealthiest people in the world are.
00:03Well, let me tell you.
00:05It's the person with a loving family and supporting community.
00:08Well, not according to Forbes, though.
00:11So who are the people with the highest net worth?
00:13The movers and shakers?
00:15The centibillionaires that shape industries?
00:17Well, yet again, in the spirit of unequal distribution,
00:20we're gonna take a look at the top 10 richest people in the world.
00:24So get that score sheet out and get ready to guess who's ranked where.
00:28Number 10, Steve Ballmer.
00:30Ice tea, ice tea, ice tea.
00:32Ice tea.
00:33Ice tea.
00:34At the bottom of our list of incredibly wealthy individuals,
00:37we have Steve Ballmer with a net worth of $107 billion.
00:42That's right, folks.
00:43Even number 10 on our list is a centibillionaire.
00:47Ballmer is an American businessman, investor,
00:49and former chief executive officer of Microsoft.
00:52He's also an avid sports enthusiast.
00:54And like most people, he enjoys a game of basketball now and then.
00:57He did eventually get tired of cussing out the coaches from behind his TV screen,
01:02so he did the thing every sports fan wishes they could do.
01:06He bought the LA Clippers back in 2014 for an astounding $2 billion.
01:11Presumably, so he could do the yelling in person.
01:14Steve Ballmer became the 10th richest person in the world,
01:17in no small part thanks to his association with Microsoft.
01:20His $333.3 million worth of shares in Microsoft stock,
01:25and being the CEO of Microsoft for about 14 years,
01:28certainly put a couple dollars in his bank account.
01:31Long before Steve Ballmer made his way to number 10 on this prestigious king luxury list,
01:36he was a statistically special baby.
01:38Born in 1956 in Detroit, Michigan,
01:40he lived a rather affluent life in the rich community of Farmington Hills.
01:44These days, Steve spends time with his wife, Connie Snyder,
01:48and his three children, presumably enjoying basketball.
01:51Number 9. Warren Buffett
01:53My partner Charlie Munger told me 50 years ago,
01:56he says if you want to guarantee yourself a life of misery,
02:00marry somebody with the idea of changing them.
02:02Number 9 on this list, by a small margin,
02:05is the famed frugal billionaire coming in with a net worth of $108 billion.
02:11Known as the Oracle of Omaha,
02:13Warren Buffett is an incredibly successful and prolific investor.
02:17He runs Berkshire Hathaway,
02:18which owns more than 60 companies,
02:20from battery making to restaurants.
02:22If it can make money,
02:24Warren Buffett is milking that cow for all it's worth.
02:27Buffett is known for a couple of things.
02:29Being an apparently frugal billionaire,
02:31choosing not to buy the fastest sports cars,
02:34or live in the largest mega mansions.
02:36Instead, frugally spending billions of dollars,
02:39acquiring companies, and investing in new businesses.
02:43He's also known for his charity work.
02:45Buffett promised to donate over 99% of his wealth,
02:48and has so far managed to give away more than $45 billion.
02:52Mostly to the Gates Foundation and his kids' foundations.
02:55Yet still sits pretty, up top on the list of richest billionaires.
03:00In 2010, he and Bill Gates launched the Giving Pledge,
03:03asking billionaires to commit to donating at least half of their wealth to charitable causes.
03:08The pledge has attracted many people with heavy purses,
03:11including billionaires Elon Musk and Larry Ellison.
03:14These days, when Buffett isn't paying a lower tax rate than his secretary,
03:18he's spending time in his $652,000 Omaha home.
03:23Number 8.
03:24Sergey Brin
03:25I'm Sergey Brin.
03:26I'm from Google,
03:28and prior to that, I was a PhD student at Stanford.
03:32Next up, we have one of the two brains behind Google.
03:35And legends say when you mention them in your videos,
03:38the algorithm blesses you with twice as many views.
03:40Don't be too surprised a founder of Google is on this list.
03:44After all, you are watching this video on YouTube,
03:46which is a subsidiary of Google,
03:48which is also a subsidiary of Alphabet,
03:50which Sergey Brin just happens to be the co-founder,
03:53former president, controller shareholder,
03:56and board member of.
03:57In short, of course he's rich.
04:00Sergey's resume is pretty long,
04:02but it's not nearly as long as his bank account, though.
04:05Sergey has a net worth of $120 billion.
04:08Can't be the founder of our future technological overlord
04:11and not be worth a few billion dollars.
04:14Outside of Google,
04:15Brin works on a few more personal projects.
04:17He and Larry Page are trying to help solve
04:20the world's energy and climate problems, for example,
04:22investing in offshore wind power
04:24and more energy-efficient cars.
04:26And like apparently every other billionaire,
04:28Brin has put money in the billionaire space race,
04:31investing $4.5 million in Space Adventures,
04:34a Virginia-based space tourism company.
04:37Space Adventures has managed to send
04:39at least seven tourists above the atmosphere so far.
04:42So is he winning the space race now?
04:44Let me know in the comments.
04:46Number 7. Larry Ellison
04:47I think my favorite line is,
04:49I had all the disadvantages necessary for success.
04:52Next up,
04:53we have the Oracle of Silicon Valley coming in hot,
04:56with a net worth of $122 billion.
04:59Larry Ellison made his incredible amount of money
05:02by being the CEO and founder of a little tech company
05:06known as Oracle,
05:07a company that might not be much of a household name,
05:10but has a net worth of $239 billion.
05:14Households be damned, apparently.
05:16Before Larry grabbed the coveted title
05:18of seventh richest person in the world,
05:20he was briefly the richest person in the world.
05:23Back in the 1990s,
05:24he was also at various times
05:26the highest-paid executive in the world,
05:28with a salary reaching up to $90 million.
05:31Larry Ellison's tale of wealth
05:33is pretty unique by billionaire standards.
05:35He was born in New York City
05:37and was put up for adoption as a toddler.
05:39He spent his youth
05:40in a middle-class neighborhood
05:41in Chicago's South Shore.
05:43After dropping out from two universities,
05:45he found himself working in the tech industry,
05:47which influenced him to create Oracle,
05:50a program successful enough
05:51to compete with Sybase and Microsoft SQL Server.
05:55These days,
05:56Ellison is living on his own private Hawaiian island
05:59called Lanai,
06:00which he bought nearly all of for $300 million.
06:04He's also sitting pretty on Tesla's board
06:07after purchasing $3 million in Tesla shares.
06:11Number six, Mark Zuckerberg.
06:13Mark, are the allegations true
06:15that you're secretly a lizard?
06:17Um, I'm gonna have to go with no on that.
06:21I am not a lizard.
06:22Number six on our list
06:24doesn't really need much of an introduction.
06:27I mean, who doesn't know Marky Z?
06:29And if you don't,
06:30just wait till meta takes off
06:31and your smart fridge
06:33starts to sound like
06:34your friendly neighborhood billionaire.
06:36Most of Zuckerberg's wealth
06:37comes from his shares in Facebook.
06:39I know, shocker.
06:40He has a net worth of $123 billion.
06:44Being the founder and CEO of Facebook
06:46will do that to you.
06:47Or should I say meta?
06:48Facebook Inc. has gone through
06:50quite the rebranding recently.
06:52Presumably because of everyone
06:53memeing on them for over 10 years.
06:55Back in 2004,
06:56Zuckerberg launched Facebook,
06:58originally named The Facebook,
07:00starting off the long history
07:01of weird names Zuckerberg likes to give things.
07:04On top of being the CEO of Facebook,
07:06he owned around 400 million total shares
07:08in the company,
07:09giving Mark 58% of the company's
07:11total voting power.
07:13So whatever problem you have with Facebook,
07:15it's all Mark's fault.
07:16Yes, including that time you posted
07:18your nudes on Facebook by mistake,
07:21Mark did it.
07:21These days,
07:22in between hearings before Congress,
07:24Mark spends his time
07:25in one of his many homes
07:27with his wife Priscilla Chan
07:28and his two daughters.
07:30And of course,
07:30chilling in the metaverse.
07:32Number 5.
07:33Larry Page
07:45The next entry on this list
07:47shouldn't come as much of a surprise.
07:49Although I am a little surprised
07:50by the wide margin
07:51between this Google founder
07:53and the last one.
07:54Just like Sergey Brin,
07:56Larry Page is also a Google man,
07:57helping co-found Google in 1998.
07:59He was also the CEO of Alphabet for a while.
08:02So here we go.
08:04Branded the YouTube algorithm.
08:05Larry Page graduated
08:06from Stanford University,
08:07where he met his Google co-founder,
08:10Sergey Brin.
08:11And together,
08:11they invented Google's
08:13PageRank algorithm,
08:14which helped catapult
08:15the website to success.
08:17Eventually helping Larry
08:18reach his net worth
08:19of $125 billion.
08:22Although Larry's net worth
08:23doesn't just come
08:24from his ties to Google.
08:26Not to get left behind
08:27in the billionaire space race,
08:28he's a founding investor
08:29in space exploration company,
08:31planetary resources.
08:33He's also invested
08:34in the funding
08:34of flying car startups,
08:36Kitty Hawk and Opener.
08:37If you can't conquer space,
08:39you can at least conquer the sky.
08:41These days,
08:42when Larry isn't gathering
08:43every tiny bit of information
08:44about you,
08:45he's cruising around
08:46in his Tesla X
08:47or chilling on his
08:48193-foot mega yacht.
08:51Number four,
08:52Bill Gates.
08:53But the good news is
08:54that the faster we improve health,
08:56the faster family size goes down.
09:00Next,
09:01we have a man who hasn't left
09:02the top five richest people
09:04in the world list
09:05for a very long time now.
09:06American business magnate,
09:08software developer,
09:09and investor,
09:10Bill Gates.
09:11Let's face it,
09:12you knew he was gonna be
09:13on this list.
09:14You just wanted to know
09:15what spot.
09:16Gates is and has been
09:18one of the most popular
09:19rich people in the world.
09:20After all,
09:21it is his name you curse
09:23in a rage when your PC crashes.
09:25Again.
09:26And that's because
09:26you're statistically more likely
09:28to be using a Windows computer.
09:29Because Microsoft
09:30is an absolutely gargantuan corporation.
09:34And guess who's the co-founder
09:35and former CEO
09:37of said massive corporation?
09:39That's right,
09:40Bill Gates.
09:41And it's fattened his wallet
09:42quite a bit.
09:43Gates has a net worth
09:44of $138 billion,
09:47which,
09:48despite all his noble,
09:49charitable endeavors,
09:50just won't stop growing.
09:52Despite stepping down
09:53as CEO of Microsoft,
09:54Gates has refused to retire,
09:56pursuing many business
09:57and philanthropic endeavors.
09:59We all know
09:59the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation,
10:01although the name
10:02is a little awkward now,
10:04thanks to his divorce in 2021.
10:06It turns out,
10:06Bill's idea of an island vacation
10:08is the kind of thing
10:09that puts normal people
10:10on a list you don't want to be on.
10:13That didn't exactly
10:13help his marriage.
10:15These days,
10:16when Bill isn't trying
10:17very, very hard
10:17to give away all his money,
10:19he's starring
10:20in many different types
10:21of conspiracy videos
10:22all over the internet.
10:24Number three,
10:25Jeff Bezos.
10:26I also,
10:27I want to thank
10:29every Amazon employee
10:31and every Amazon customer,
10:33because you guys
10:34paid for all of this.
10:36Formerly number one
10:37on everybody's richest
10:39person in the world list,
10:40Bezos dropped down
10:41a couple positions in 2021,
10:43which unfortunately
10:44means the Bond villain jokes
10:46don't hit his heart anymore.
10:47Bezos has a net worth
10:49of $195 billion,
10:51which once upon a time,
10:53had people speculating
10:54he would be
10:54the next trillionaire,
10:552021 sure was full
10:57of surprises.
10:58Being the founder,
10:59CEO,
11:00president,
11:01and chairman
11:01of the board
11:02of Amazon.com,
11:03a company that has grown
11:04substantially
11:05in the past couple of years,
11:06thanks to everyone's
11:07renewed desire
11:08to stay at home
11:08and isolate,
11:09for some reason.
11:11Bezos is very likely
11:12going to stay a part
11:13of the top three
11:13richest people in the world
11:15for the foreseeable future.
11:16Heck, he might even
11:17make a comeback.
11:18After all,
11:18he does still own
11:19about 55 million shares
11:21in Amazon,
11:22one of the largest companies
11:23in the United States.
11:24All this despite his divorce
11:26from ex-wife Mackenzie Scott
11:28back in 2019.
11:29His divorce might have
11:30set him back a few billion,
11:31thanks to a settlement
11:32that dropped his net worth
11:33to $114 billion.
11:36But it's only taken
11:36a couple of years
11:37for old Jeffrey
11:38to bounce back.
11:39He recently shot himself
11:41into the edge of space,
11:42in a rocket built
11:43by Blue Origin,
11:44Bezos' very own
11:46rocket company.
11:47And despite many people
11:48signing a petition
11:49for him not to come back,
11:50he failed to please
11:51his loyal customers
11:52and did.
11:53These days,
11:54when Bezos isn't partying
11:55with his new girlfriend,
11:57he's competing
11:57in the billionaire space race
11:59and winning.
12:00Bernard Arnault
12:13Just barely at number two,
12:15we have the recently
12:16short-lived
12:17former richest person
12:18in the world.
12:19That's right,
12:20Bernard Arnault
12:20was the richest person
12:21in the world
12:22for a few months
12:23back in 2021.
12:24If you didn't know,
12:25you're clearly not watching
12:26enough King Luxury.
12:28Bernard Arnault
12:29is still,
12:29by a wide margin,
12:30the richest person in France,
12:32the richest person in Europe,
12:33and the richest person
12:34in fashion.
12:35He has a net worth
12:36of $198 billion.
12:39Yet not too many people
12:40out here talking
12:40about my man Bernard,
12:42even though he's already
12:43been the richest person
12:44in the world
12:45three times now.
12:46He grabbed the title
12:47back in 2019
12:48and 2020.
12:49With the sheer number
12:51of pies this man
12:52has his fingers in,
12:53I'm a little surprised
12:54he doesn't just
12:55stay number one.
12:56He oversees an empire
12:57of over 70 brands,
12:59including Louis Vuitton
13:00and Sephora.
13:02Bernard deals
13:02in luxury goods
13:03ranging from fashion,
13:05wines,
13:05watches,
13:06perfumes,
13:07cosmetics,
13:08and even pastries.
13:09That's right,
13:10my thing I said earlier
13:11wasn't just a metaphor.
13:13These days,
13:14Bernard is either
13:14working with his four children,
13:16Frédéric,
13:17Delphine,
13:18Antoine,
13:19and Alexander
13:19to run the family business.
13:21Or he's chilling
13:22on his $150 million
13:25$333 meter yacht
13:27called Symphony.
13:28Number one,
13:29Elon Musk.
13:31No, I am not evil.
13:32I just misunderstood.
13:34And here we have
13:35the richest person
13:36in the world
13:37with an insane net worth
13:39of one trillion dollars.
13:42Nah, I'm just kidding.
13:43For now.
13:44Musk actually has
13:45a net worth
13:45of $283 billion.
13:48Placing him far ahead
13:49of former number one
13:50richest man,
13:51Jeff Bezos,
13:52by almost $100 billion.
13:55And Musk's
13:56commercial space travel
13:57hasn't even
13:58taken off yet.
13:59But let's not get
14:00ahead of ourselves.
14:01Elon Musk is another
14:02incredibly popular
14:03rich person.
14:04He's a South African-born,
14:06Canadian-American.
14:07He's a businessman,
14:08inventor,
14:09investor,
14:10and CEO of SpaceX.
14:11And with the sheer amount
14:12of cameos he's had,
14:14might as well toss
14:14actor in there as well.
14:16Elon Musk has had
14:17a rather successful career
14:18in the tech industry,
14:19making his first
14:20software sale
14:21when he was only
14:2212 years old.
14:23Musk's first company
14:24was called Zip2 Corporation,
14:26which he's sold
14:27for $307 million
14:28in cash
14:30and $34 million
14:31in stock options.
14:33After which,
14:34he co-founded
14:34X.com,
14:36which led to the
14:36creation of PayPal,
14:38which was sold to eBay
14:39for $1.5 billion
14:41in stock.
14:42In true Elon Musk fashion,
14:44he's managed to turn
14:45SpaceX
14:45into a $74 billion
14:47company,
14:48and put Tesla
14:49at the forefront
14:50of expensive electric cars,
14:52landing him on the front
14:53of Time magazine
14:54as person of the year
14:55in 2021.
14:56These days,
14:57when Musk isn't busy
14:58trying to colonize Mars,
15:00he's showing up
15:01on your TV.
15:02Either he's being interviewed,
15:03or he's being exactly
15:04as funny as you expect
15:05a tech billionaire to be.
15:07Who's your favorite
15:08billionaire on the list?
15:09It's Musk,
15:10isn't it?
15:11It always is.
15:12If you like lists
15:13like this, though,
15:14you should click on the video
15:15on the screen
15:16and check out our list
15:17on the top five richest
15:19CEOs in the world.
