The world’s billionaire class has entered uncharted territory, with their combined wealth reaching a $20.1 trillion this year, according to the latest Forbes billionaires ranking. The number itself tells us how rapidly wealth creation has accelerated over the past year, with the strength of artificial intelligence, booming stock markets and aggressive tech investments. The global billionaire count climbed to a record 3,428 people — nearly 400 more than last year — which means that the planet added almost one new billionaire every single day. The United States continued to dominate the list with 989 billionaires, followed by China and India, which now has a record 229 billionaires.
