According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, as of September 30, the wealth of about 100 tech billionaires among the world's 500 richest people had increased by a total of US$845 billion, the highest in the first nine months of history. The forces driving this growth are the same as the main drivers of the global market: the AI boom and a surge in technology stocks, particularly in the US. Tech billionaires currently have a total wealth of 4.6 trillion US dollars, accounting for 36% of the index's total wealth, even though they only account for about one-fifth of those on the list. This differentiation is very clear. Over the same period, billionaires who have accumulated wealth outside of the tech industry lost a total of 62 billion US dollars, while the rich in the US contributed 94% of the net wealth increase in the index. Since September 10, the top ten richest people in the world have all come from the US. This is the first time this has happened since Bloomberg began tracking billionaires in 2012.
