As of 2025, there is no one who is officially a trillionaire (worth at least one trillion US dollars). The richest individuals are billionaires with net worths in the hundreds of billions range, such as Elon Musk (around $393-449 billion), Larry Ellison, Mark Zuckerberg, and Jeff Bezos. Elon Musk is widely expected to be the first person to reach trillionaire status, potentially by around 2027, due to his rapid wealth growth largely from Tesla, SpaceX, and other holdings.
A trillionaire is defined as someone with a net worth of one trillion in their local currency, but no one has yet reached that level in US dollars. Experts predict the world’s first trillionaire will likely come from the technology sector, with Elon Musk considered the most probable candidate given his current wealth trajectory. Other potential future trillionaires discussed include Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, and Jensen Huang.
In summary, while there are many billionaires with hundreds of billions in net worth, no individual has yet crossed the trillion-dollar mark as of mid-2025, but Elon Musk is poised to be the first.
