أصغر 10 مليارديرات في العالم.. ثرواتهم تقفز إلى 357 مليار دولار

The fortunes of the world's smallest 10 billionaires jumped to about $357 billion in 2025, a significant increase from $273 billion last year, reflecting the rise of a new generation of young entrepreneurs who are reshaping the concept of wealth in the era of digital transformations. Their average age is under 43, making them a model for a generation that has invested in technology and innovation to create rapidly growing fortunes without relying on traditional inheritance. Leading the list is Mark Zuckerberg (41), whose wealth has seen a significant surge thanks to his growing investments in artificial intelligence technologies and the expansions of Meta. Following him is Nathan Blecharczyk (42), co-founder of Airbnb, with a fortune of around $8.7 billion, benefiting from the global boom in the digital hospitality sector. Edwin Chen (37) is the youngest billionaire on the list and the founder of Surge AI, having successfully built his company from scratch to become a key player in the data and artificial intelligence industry. The list also includes prominent names like Brian Venturo, Vlad Tenev, founder of Robinhood, Lucas Walton, heir to the Walmart empire, Josh Kushner, a prominent investor, and Eduardo Vivas, a tech pioneer. Notably, the majority of these young individuals have made their fortunes by founding leading companies in financial technology, the sharing economy, and digital infrastructure, in a scene that confirms that the future belongs to those who innovate, take risks, and keep pace with the speed of the market. Analysts suggest that the continued growth of the wealth of this group reflects the strength of the global digital economy and its ability to create new wealth, in addition to changing standards of personal and professional success in a fast-paced world, where innovation and smart risk-taking have become more important than traditional capital in the wealth equation.
