"As of 2025, France was home to 53 of the world's billionaires, coming in 11th place for countries with the most billionaires, according to the World Population Review. France fell behind the UK, which is in 10th place with 55 billionaires, and ahead of Taiwan with 51 billionaires. The top three countries (also the world's most populous countries) are; the United States (813 billionaires), China (406), and India (200)."
"Measuring wealth is not always the simplest task - billionaires' net worth can change drastically in short periods of time, as their assets are often tied up in company stock prices, which fluctuate, and some of the world's richest people are quite coy about their net worth. For this article, we've used the Forbes business ranking, which updates daily."
France had 53 billionaires in 2025, placing it 11th worldwide for number of billionaires. The UK had 55 and Taiwan 51, while neighbours Italy and Germany hosted 73 and 132 billionaires respectively. The United States, China, and India led the global list with 813, 406, and 200 billionaires. France is weighing a proposed Zucman tax on the super-wealthy. Billionaires' net worth can change rapidly because assets are often tied to company stock prices and reporting varies. Forbes' daily billionaire ranking provided the wealth figures. Bernard Arnault and family had a reported net worth of $178 billion in 2025 and built LVMH from a family business and mergers.
