Google co-founder Larry Page ranks second with $277 billion. His Jewish Google co-founder Sergey Brin ranks fourth with $256 billion, while Jewish computer billionaire Michael Dell places fifth with $241 billion.
Jewish Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg ranks sixth with $197 billion. Jewish Oracle founder Larry Ellison follows with $193 billion, while former Microsoft CEO and Los Angeles Clippers owner Steve Ballmer ranks ninth with $155 billion.
Their companies helped build the modern digital world. Google controls global internet search, Meta owns Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, Microsoft dominates business software, Oracle powers major companies and governments, and Dell supplies computer infrastructure around the world.
None of the six inherited the fortune that placed him on the list. Five founded or co-founded their primary companies, while Ballmer joined Microsoft as its 30th employee before eventually becoming CEO and its largest individual shareholder.
The $1.32 trillion represents the estimated value of their company shares and other assets, not cash sitting in their bank accounts.
