Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg are likely best known for their massive wealth. In fact, the trio took the top three spots on Forbes’ 2025 World’s Billionaires List. And since then, they have seen their billions grow even more.
But just how much has their wealth grown in the past year or so that President Donald Trump has been in office? The trio of tech and business titans have grown their wealth by a substantial amount due to a number of factors. Here’s a closer look at how much richer Musk, Bezos and Zuckerberg have gotten since Trump started his second term.
Elon Musk
The Tesla CEO and world’s richest person was already fabulously wealthy before Trump’s second term. Since then, he has amassed the kind of riches that might have seemed unimaginable only a decade ago.
In a recent article from the Financial Times, it was estimated that Musk has accumulated roughly $234 billion in additional wealth during the president’s second term.
But that figure could understate things considerably, given how much richer Musk has gotten over the past month or so. He recently became the first person to pass $600 billion and then $700 billion in net worth after the Delaware Supreme Court overturned a lower court ruling that had voided an award of Tesla stock options to its CEO, Forbes reported.
Here is Musk’s net worth trajectory since 2024, according to Forbes.
- 2024 net worth: $195 billion
- 2025 net worth: $342 billion
- Current worth (as of Jan. 29): $767.1 billion
Jeff Bezos
Bezos, the founder and chairman of Amazon, has fallen to No. 5 on Forbes’ real-time list of billionaires as of Jan. 29, but that doesn’t mean his wealth hasn’t grown over the past year.
The Financial Times estimated that Bezos has accumulated an additional $15 billion in wealth since the beginning of Trump’s second term. But as with Musk, that figure might be on the low side.
Here is Bezos’ net worth trajectory since 2024, according to Forbes.
- 2024 net worth: $194 billion
- 2025 net worth: $215 billion
- Current worth (as of Jan. 29): $249.7 billion
Mark Zuckerberg
Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook (now called Meta) sits just above Bezos at No. 4 on Forbes’ list. And the Financial Times estimated that Zuckerberg’s wealth has grown by “only” about $1.9 billion since the beginning of Trump’s second term.
Forbes puts that figure higher. Here’s its estimate of Zuckerberg’s net worth trajectory since 2024.
- 2024 net worth: $177 billion
- 2025 net worth: $216 billion
- Current worth (as of Jan. 29): $252.8 billion
