These are the 10 richest people in the world for September, according to Forbes.

Forbes' September 2025 ranking of the world's richest people confirms a trend that has been consolidating in recent years: the concentration of the world's largest fortunes around technology and, to a lesser extent, luxury.

Among the top ten, nine are Americans and only one (Frenchman Bernard Arnault) comes from outside the United States, reflecting the weight that Silicon Valley and Wall Street exert on global wealth creation .
