The World's Richest Billionaires As Of September 2023

Forbes has been keeping track of the world’s billionaires since 1987. This year, we found 2,640 of them for our annual list. Throughout the year, we update their fortunes on a daily basis. Many billionaires hold much of their net worth in the stock of the company they founded. As that stock price moves, their fortune moves along with it. For most of 2023, French luxury goods magnate Bernard Arnault was the world’s richest person, per Forbes—but that changed on June 8, 2023, when Tesla CEO Elon Musk overtook Arnault to become No. 1 in the world again, worth nearly $238 billion. As of September 1, 2023, Musk is still the world’s richest person—a position he also held for much of 2022.

Surging shares of Meta Platforms—which owns Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp—pushed Mark Zuckerberg back up into the world’s top ten richest earlier this summer for the first time since January 2022. As of September 1, Zuckerberg is the world’s ninth richest, worth $105 billion, down about $8 billion and down two spots in the ranking since the beginning of last month, per Forbes’ estimates.

Google cofounder Larry Page moved up two notches to No. 6 richest this month from No. 8 at the beginning of August as shares of parent company Alphabet climbed 3.5%. His cofounder Sergey Brin is right behind him, ranked eighth in the world.
