Just in: Elon Musk Reclaims Title as World’s Richest Person, Surpassing Larry Ellison.
In a dramatic turn of events in the world of billionaires, Elon Musk has officially reclaimed his position as the world's richest individual, overtaking Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison.
Just weeks ago, on September 10, 2025, Larry Ellison briefly surpassed Musk after a remarkable $100 billion gain in a single hour — an achievement that momentarily placed him at the top of the global wealth ranking. However, his reign was short-lived.
Since that moment, the two tech titans have been in a close race, with their fortunes fluctuating due to stock market dynamics, company performance, and global economic shifts. Today, Musk has definitively pulled ahead with a net worth exceeding $477 billion, leaving Ellison behind at approximately $367 billio, according to the latest financial estimates.
Elon Musk’s financial growth is largely driven by the continued success of his companies, including Tesla, SpaceX, and X (formerly Twitter). Despite economic challenges and market volatility, Musk's wealth has consistently shown resilience and upward momentum.
Meanwhile, Larry Ellison’s impressive fortune — bolstered by Oracle’s strong performance and strategic investments — remains substantial, securing him the second position in the global wealth rankings.
This back-and-forth between Musk and Ellison highlights the intense financial competition among the world’s wealthiest individuals. With markets constantly shifting, it's possible that this rivalry may continue to evolve in the coming months.
As it stands today, Elon Musk has once again proven his dominance in the global financial landscape, reaffirming his status not only as a tech innovator but also as the leading figure in wealth accumulation.
