A report from Informa Connect Academy indicates that Elon Musk, the innovative leader of Tesla, SpaceX, and X (previously Twitter), is poised to become the world's first trillionaire by 2027. The report, named "2024 Trillion Dollar Club," highlights that Musk's average annual wealth growth rate is an astonishing 110%, propelling him to the forefront of the Bloomberg Billionaires Index with a remarkable net worth of $251 billion.
Several other billionaires are also on the verge of joining the exclusive Trillionaires Club in the near future. The report indicates that Gautam Adani, the richest person in India, is expected to reach trillionaire status by 2028. Additionally, Jensen Huang, the CEO of Nvidia, and Prajogo Pangestu, a prominent Indonesian business magnate, are also expected to reach this milestone during the same timeframe.
The Adani Group is involved in a wide range of business activities, including power generation, transmission, and distribution, as well as ports and terminals, agriculture, general logistics, and industrial parks. The conglomerate also explores sectors like defense and aerospace incubation, airport management, and water treatment. Furthermore, the group participates in road and rail networks, data centers, farming, food manufacturing, and real estate.
Under Adani's guidance, the individual subsidiaries of the Adani Group have achieved impressive multi-billion market cap valuations. Gautam Adani himself has an estimated net worth of $84 billion, with an average annual growth rate of 122.86%, according to the report.
Jensen Huang, who has been the sole CEO of NVIDIA since it was founded, is expected to accumulate a fortune that surpasses one trillion dollars by 2028. As a co-founder of the company, which has now reached a trillion-dollar valuation, Huang has been instrumental in its success. His current estimated net worth is around $77 billion, and he has seen his wealth grow at an impressive average annual rate of 111.88%. If this trend continues, he could become one of the world's first trillionaires within the next five years, according to reports.
In addition, Bernard Arnault, the French businessman at the helm of LVMH, recognized as "the world's largest luxury conglomerate," is expected to achieve trillionaire status by 2030. As these individuals continue to increase their wealth and expand their business empires, they are likely to join the ranks of the world's wealthiest people soon.
The idea of a trillionaire has fascinated the public since the rise of the first billionaire, John D. Rockefeller, in 1916. However, many scholars consider the accumulation of such vast wealth to be a social issue. A report reveals that the richest 1% of the world's population contributes more to carbon emissions than the poorest 66%, which has a significant effect on the current climate crisis. Three women are highlighted among the 30 billionaires expected to accumulate a trillion-dollar fortune by 2050. Their inclusion on this list is significant, especially considering the historical lack of representation of women in the highest levels of wealth.
These women have achieved remarkable success in their fields, showcasing outstanding business skills and leadership qualities. As they expand their enterprises, they inspire aspiring female entrepreneurs around the globe.
Francoise Bettencourt Meyers, the granddaughter of Eugène Schueller, the founder of L'Oreal, and her family have an impressive net worth of $99.5 billion. They own over one-third of the cosmetics powerhouse, L'Oreal.
In her role as chairman of the family's holding company, Francoise is instrumental in managing their investments. She also serves on L'Oreal's board, ensuring her active participation in the company's strategic direction.
With their current financial growth, it is projected that Francoise and her family will achieve a remarkable net worth of $1 trillion by 2040, further cementing their status among the wealthiest people in the world.
