Just eight billionaires accounted for a quarter of the gains, led by Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Larry Ellison and Larry Page
The richest 500 individuals in the world added a record $2.2tn to their wealth in 2025, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, with just eight billionaires accounting for a quarter of the gains.
The gains increased their collective net worth to $11.9tn, bolstered by billionaire Donald Trump’s 2024 election victory and booming markets in cryptocurrencies, equities and metals.
Around a quarter of the gains were attributed to eight billionaires, including Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Oracle chair Larry Ellison and Alphabet Inc co-founder Larry Page, though 2024 saw more concentrated net worth gains with the same eight billionaires making up 43% of total net worth gains for the wealthiest 500 individuals in the world.
Parasites
Government is our only defense against robber barons. If any government allows itself to be controlled by billionaires, there’s NO REASON for the government. It’s just a super expensive middleman.
They didn’t add jack shit, they stole from the workers.

What’s fucked up is there is a Bloomberg Billionaires Index. What the fuck is this hero worship slobbering
That’s nothing. In 2026 they’ll at least double that, guaranteed.
What’s the number after trillion? Might as well find out soon because there is no stopping the greed juggernaut.
And how much did they contribute back to the countries that allowed them to amass that ridiculous amount of wealth?
Their “contributions” are about breaking the countries that gave them everything they have, and fucking over nearly everyone in those countries.
Haha, you’re funny
So when are we finally going to stop this, stop the billionaires?
We need laws that put hard caps on ownership and personal wealth. Nobody should be able to have a net worth of over, say, 10 million dollars. Any income over that should be taxed 100% until the person goes below the 10 million line
We done even need different economic systems, capitalism works well to generate wealth, that is fine, we just need to put rules on where that wealth goes.
With taxes, that is a simple fix.
Imagine if you will, if nobody can be worth over 10M, and companies het similarly capped at, say, 1 billion.
You have a company worth 1 billion? You can’t have a single owner because of the 10M cap. You’ll end up with many ay more smaller companies or bigger companies with loads of small share holders. Companies can compete and grow but the perverse incentives of endless growth would be gone. Companies can finally focus on the end consumers again, and make better products
Meanwhile governments get a huge tax influx, that can be used to fund independent investment foundations that help new startups with funding and professional help to get your new company started
That tax money could be used as well to fund free healthcare, free education, maybe even universal income. We could eradicate the poor.
People could stop focusing on survival and start focusing on living and loving.
I dunno, there are loads of details missing, of course, but this sounds like something doable.
People still give them money
I don’t understand why shareholders keep feeding these pieces of shit.
If I mathed right, that’s roughly $8,800 per U.S. citizen. That is truly fucked up.
Parasites masquerading as geniuses.
“Added” my ass. They STOLE $2.2tn from the working people. They literally took it out from the mouths of starving families, struggling single mothers and fathers, while providing little to no value for all their greed.
It’s incredible they all work so hard while also shit posting 24/7 and dressing like trash.
Well it’s sure starting to look like guillotine thirty
ah good, a list
Hoarding currency is a mental illness.

“Plastic surgery can fix that right up. Don’t worry, it’s on the house”
