The fortunes of nearly 100 tech billionaires, among the world's 500 richest people, have increased by a total of approximately $845 billion since the beginning of the year until September 30, marking the largest increase in their wealth during the first nine months of any year, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. The same drivers that have been propelling global markets were behind this surge, primarily the artificial intelligence boom and record highs in tech stocks, especially in the United States. The total wealth of tech billionaires now stands at $4.6 trillion, equivalent to 36% of the index's total wealth, even though they represent only about one-fifth of its members.

Since September 10, the world's ten richest people have all been from the United States, the first time this has happened since Bloomberg began tracking billionaires' wealth in 2012. Elon Musk, the world's richest man, added $310 billion to his fortune this year through the end of September, representing nearly 40% of the total increase in the index.

The combined wealth of the world's 500 richest people peaked at $13.4 trillion in mid-June. Since then, it has fallen 6% to $12.6 trillion amid a general market slowdown and growing uncertainty surrounding some of the biggest AI companies. #Arabic_Business
