The race to become the world’s first trillionaire is heating up, and all eyes are on Elon Musk. But there’s a surprising contender right behind him—India’s Gautam Adani. With wealth soaring at a staggering rate, both men could reach unprecedented financial heights. Here’s how they’re inching closer to making history.
Elon Musk, the visionary behind Tesla and SpaceX, is projected to become the world’s first trillionaire within the next three years, according to a new report. His current net worth of $241.8 billion places him comfortably ahead of Jeff Bezos, who stands at $190 billion. But Musk isn’t the only one on the path to trillionaire status—India’s business tycoon, Gautam Adani, could follow close behind, potentially reaching the coveted mark by 2028.
The report suggests that Adani, currently valued at $80 billion and ranked 21st on the Forbes Billionaire list, could join Musk in the elite trillionaire club if his fortune continues to grow at its current rate of 123%. Adani’s rapid ascent in wealth has been nothing short of extraordinary, driven largely by his diversified business empire in infrastructure, energy, and logistics.
Musk’s wealth is heavily tied to Tesla, which currently holds a market cap of $673.20 billion, though the EV giant has seen an 8.45% dip recently. Despite the challenges, Musk’s sprawling portfolio across multiple industries keeps him firmly on top of the financial world.
Another tech giant also making waves is Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, who is poised to become a trillionaire after Adani. Huang’s company has been a major player in the tech industry, particularly with the launch of their revolutionary Blackwell chips. Huang’s current net worth is $90.2 billion, placing him 17th on the global rich list.
Both Musk and Adani represent the ever-growing influence of billionaires in shaping global industries, and their journey towards trillionaire status could redefine the limits of personal wealth in the modern world.
