Forbes reveals list of the 10 richest billionaires in the world in August 2025
Forbes released its monthly update on the richest billionaires on the planet this Monday (4). Amid the rapid growth of technology giants in the financial markets, this month's highlight is Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, who rose from tenth to sixth place in the global ranking.
Huang had an impressive increase of $17 billion (R$ 93.5 billion) in his fortune just in July, driven by the appreciation of Nvidia's shares, which rose about 14% that month. The company also became the first semiconductor company to reach $4 trillion (R$ 22 trillion) in market value.
All members of the top 10 are men and have a net worth of over $138 billion (R$ 759 billion). The rise of billionaires in August largely reflects the strong performance of technology stocks in the stock market, with companies like Nvidia, Meta, and Google standing out.
