Elon Musk remains the richest person in the world, according to new data from World of Statistics. His wealth is estimated at $638 billion, confirming his leading position in the global financial influence arena.

Other top-ranked participants lag significantly behind the leader. Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook, ranks sixth with a net worth of $229 billion. Between them are other major businessmen and investors whose fortunes are measured in hundreds of billions of dollars.

Looking further down the list, Bill Gates, co-founder of Microsoft, is in 16th place with $117 billion. Indian magnate Mukesh Ambani ranks 18th among the wealthiest people in the world and his closest competitors, demonstrating the strength of emerging market economies.

Additionally, the ranking shows that the world's richest person still holds a significant advantage over the other list participants, with a gap of more than twice that of the second place. This reflects the concentration of capital in the hands of a small number of influential entrepreneurs and investors worldwide.
