In April, a surge in AI-driven tech stocks boosted the net worth of top billionaires, with Google co-founder Larry Page joining the $300 billion club after Alphabet shares rose over 33%. Elon Musk stayed the richest person globally with $782 billion, despite a $35 billion decline due to a revised SpaceX stake estimate. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq saw strong gains, lifting the combined wealth of the world's top ten billionaires to $2.7 trillion. Other notable changes included Sergey Brin rising to third place and Jeff Bezos slipping to fourth despite a $49 billion increase in his fortune.
