Nearly 70% of the world’s newest billionaires—196 of them—are self-made, meaning they established their fortunes themselves rather than inheriting them. The richest self-made newcomer, 73-year-old Sulaiman Al Habib ($10.9 billion), hails from Saudi Arabia, whose billionaires are back on the list for the first time since 2017. Scale AI cofounder and CEO Alexandr Wang ($2 billion) is the youngest self-made newcomer at age 28.

Despite choppy markets, a record 3,028 entrepreneurs, investors and heirs made Forbes’ 2025 World’s Billionaires list, including 288 newcomers (up from 265 in 2024). These billionaire rookies, including a pioneer of heartland rock, a stand-up comedy legend and The Terminator, are collectively worth nearly $680 billion, or $2.4 billion on average. They hail from 33 countries. (Illustration: Neil Jamieson for Forbes)
