Forbes reported that the AI boom ignited by the release of ChatGPT in 2022 resulted in 46 tech moguls joining its World’s Billionaires list. The tech industry collectively amassed a staggering $3.2 trillion. New entrants to the list include Liang Wenfeng of DeepSeek, Sundar Pichai of Alphabet, and the team from CoreWeave, which consists of Michael Intrator, Brian Venturo, Brannin McBee, and Jack Cogen. This surge was fueled by the creation of $600 billion in new wealth.

Key New Billionaires

  • Liang Wenfeng ($1B, China): Founded DeepSeek, whose R1 model rivals ChatGPT at lower costs, funded by his High-Flyer Capital hedge fund
  • Sundar Pichai ($1.1B, U.S.): Alphabet CEO, boosted by a 30% share surge post-Gemini 2.0 launch
  • Luis von Ahn & Severin Hacker ($1.1B each, U.S./Switzerland): Duolingo co-founders, serving 100M+ users.
  • Anthropic Founders ($1.2B each, U.S./Canada): Seven ex-OpenAI members, led by Dario Amodei, raised $3.5B at a $61.5B valuation
  • Yao Runhao ($1.3B, China): Creator of AI-driven game Love and Deepspace, generating $850M
  • Phil Shawe ($1.8B, U.S.): TransPerfect founder, leveraging AI for $1.3B in revenue
  • Joe Lonsdale ($2B, U.S.): Palantir co-founder, benefiting from a 225% stock surge
  • Alexandr Wang ($2B, U.S.): Scale AI’s 28-year-old founder, raised $1B at $14B valuation
  • CoreWeave Team ($1.2B–$3.1B, U.S.): Intrator, Venturo, McBee, and Cogen capitalised on a $23B valuation.

The AI arms race, fueled by investor enthusiasm and advancements like Anthropic’s Claude and xAI’s $6B raise, has skyrocketed valuations. CoreWeave’s cloud computing for AI, valued at $23B post-IPO, and Alphabet’s Gemini 2.0 have driven wealth, with established giants like Larry Ellison ($51B richer) and Mark Zuckerberg ($216B) also gaining.
