A 90-day tariff pause between the U.S. and China helped lift the S&P 500 into positive territory for 2025, boosting investor confidence and nudging billionaire fortunes upward after a rough start to the year. According to Bloomberg, the world’s ten richest individuals added $518 billion in 2024 but have lost $67 billion in 2025. Only four billionaires—Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, and Steve Ballmer—have seen gains this year. Elon Musk remains the richest at $370 billion despite losing $62.6 billion this year. The group’s combined net worth now stands at $1.95 trillion.
