Jeff Bezos, former Amazon CEO and founder of Blue Origin, follows in the third position with a net worth of $168.4 billion.

Bill Gates maintains the sixth position with a fortune of $119.6 billion, reflecting a $2 billion growth in December.

Finally, Steve Ballmer, former Microsoft CEO, secures the tenth position, with a net worth of $112.2 billion, experiencing a slight decrease amid a less than 1% drop in Microsoft shares.
