Musk overtook Jeff Bezos to become the world’s richest person on Forbes’ 2022 list of the World’s Billionaires, buoyed by a rise in the share price of automaker Tesla. Musk, who ranked number two on Forbes’ 2021 list, first debuted on the Forbes billionaires list a decade ago, in 2012, worth $2 billion. The Tesla chief unloaded more than $16 billion of the electric vehicle maker’s shares over two months last year, likely resulting in the largest-ever one-year tax bill for an individual. What...

For the first time in four years, Bezos is not the world’s richest. His fortune is $6 billion lower than a year ago, due to a 3% drop in Amazon stock and an uptick in his charitable donations. Since giving up the CEO role in July, he has focused on other endeavors: his commercial space company, Blue Origin, launched him into the heavens last summer; he has reportedly bought a superyacht; and he stepped up his charitable giving by donating more than $1 billion in 2021 to causes such as Barack...

His Berkshire Hathaway has snapped up some $7 billion worth of Occidental Petroleum stock this year amid soaring oil prices. In March, he led the biggest acquisition in years when Berkshire agreed to purchase insurer Alleghany for $11.6...

Oracle’s chairman and former CEO is more than $10 billion wealthier this year as shareholders cheered its transition into a cloud-based company. In September, Ellison snapped up a Lake Tahoe resort for $345 million.

The NBA’s Los Angeles Clippers, which the former Microsoft CEO bought for a lofty $2 billion eight years ago, are now valued by Forbesat $3.3 billion. Not a bad return. But it’s Microsoft stock that has really let Ballmer run up the score—its shares are up more than 600% over the same period, adding more than $65 billion to his net worth.

The man whose Bloomberg terminals power Wall Street pledged $120 million to combat drug overdoses in November and $750 million to support charter schools in December. New York’s former mayor also spent $1.2 billion backing Democrats (including more than $1 billion on his own abortive White House run) in the 2020 election cycle. He’s more bearish about 2022, warning Dems in a recent opinion piece that “absent an immediate course correction, the party is headed for a wipeout in November.”

Facebook renamed itself Meta Platforms in October as Zuckerberg sets his sights on building a nebulously defined (and potentially undesired) techtopia called the “metaverse.” He has good reason to escape the physical world, in which Meta shares have dropped by 50% since their September peak. He’s out of the world’s 10 richest for the first time in six years. With reporting by Matt Durot, John Hyatt, Rachel Sandler and Chase Peterson-Withorn
