Only a handful of people on Earth belong to the $100 Billion Club — an ultra-exclusive group of individuals whose net worth exceeds $100 billion. These are not just billionaires; they are global power players shaping economies, industries, and the future.
Let’s break down who’s in the club, how they got there, and why this list keeps changing.
