"Page and Brin were worth $281 billion and $261 billion, respectively, at Friday's close, per the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. They added $101 billion and $92 billion to each of their fortunes in 2025, making them the year's biggest wealth gainers after Elon Musk, and have gained another $12 billion and $11 billion each already this year. The key driver has been Alphabet shares soaring 65% last year, and rising a further 4.5% so far in 2026, as investors have grown more and more excited about the search-and-advertising titan's AI efforts."
"Bezos' wealth has climbed more modestly, from $239 billion at the start of 2025 to $268 billion at Friday's close. That reflects a roughly 5% rise in Amazon's stock price last year, and another 6% rise this year, as investors wager the e-commerce giant's massive AI investments will start to pay off. Only Musk is richer than the trio; the Tesla and SpaceX CEO was worth $639 billion at Friday's close."
"He saw a $165 billion wealth jump last year, thanks to Tesla stock gaining 11% and SpaceX's valuation leaping from $350 billion to $800 billion. He's added an unmatched $19 billion to his name so far in 2026."
Jeff Bezos, Larry Page and Sergey Brin each hold personal fortunes above $250 billion and are approaching $300 billion. Page and Brin were valued at $281 billion and $261 billion at Friday's close, after adding $101 billion and $92 billion in 2025 and further gains in 2026. Alphabet's shares rose 65% in 2025 and 4.5% in 2026, driven by investor enthusiasm for AI. Bezos' wealth grew from $239 billion to $268 billion as Amazon stock rose roughly 5% in 2025 and 6% in 2026. Elon Musk remains wealthiest at $639 billion following large gains from Tesla and SpaceX.
