The report also noted New Delhi’s entry into the Top 10 for the first time. This year’s list, marking its thirteenth edition, is based on wealth calculations up to January 15, 2024. It reveals that Tesla CEO Elon Musk leads the global billionaire ranking with a net worth of $231 billion, followed by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, valued at $185 billion. It also mentions Taylor Swift, who joined the billionaire club with wealth valued at 1.2 billion, not from typical celebrity side hustles but through her music.
