Six out of 10 richest people are Jewish, new Bloomberg billionaires rank shows

• Six individuals of Jewish heritage simultaneously hold positions in the Bloomberg Billionaires Index Top 10.   
• The founders - Larry Ellison, Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Page, Sergey Brin, Steve Ballmer, and Michael Dell - represent over $1.3 trillion in collective net worth.   
• Their fortunes are tied to the world's largest technology firms: Oracle, Meta Platforms, Alphabet (Google), Microsoft, and Dell Technologies.

The Bloomberg Billionaires Index confirmed in early November 2025 that six founders of Jewish heritage now occupy positions among the world’s ten wealthiest individuals.

The cohort includes Larry Ellison, Larry Page, Mark Zuckerberg, Sergey Brin, Steve Ballmer, and the recent entrant to the elite group, Michael Dell.

This concentration means this single group controls well over half of the entire measured wealth contained in the world’s ten richest individuals, solidifying the trend of wealth accumulation among technology sector pioneers.

Hebrew media took attention to the news, covering it in several news outlets. 

Corporate Power and International Influence

The immense personal wealth of these individuals is inextricably linked to the structural power of the companies they founded, which collectively dictate the direction of cloud computing, social media, and internet search globally.

This influence often extends into geopolitical and philanthropic engagement. Larry Ellison, Mark Zuckerberg, Michael Dell, and Sergey Brin were notably included on The Jerusalem Post's "50 Influential Jews 2025" list, which was published in recognition of their broader support.

Ellison, in particular, has been cited in press reports for making "substantial donations" to the "Friends of the Israeli Army" foundation, an organization that supports ‘Israeli’ soldiers, and for significant contributions to the settlement of Sderot, located on the border of the Gaza Strip.
