The world’s richest person, Elon Musk, who could possibly be purchasing Twitter, has an estimated net worth of $263 billion with an average annual net growth of 129%. This means his net worth can potentially hit a trillion dollars in as little as two years, at the age of 52.
Gautam Adani & family own the commodity trading business Adani Group (one of India’s most profitable companies). Adani would be a year behind Musk, reaching trillionaire status in 2025, at the age of 62 at his current rate of 121% growth.
At just 38 years old, Zhang Yiming is the founder and chairman of Beijing ByteDance Technology Co, which is considered to be one of the world’s most valuable start-ups. The business is predicted to make Zhang Yiming a trillionaire in 2026, at the age of 42.
