Context
AI hype has been a boon for some tech stocks this year: Google is up 65% year-to-date, Nvidia 39%, and Palantir 153%.
While many stocks have not beaten the market – Apple is up 13% YTD, Amazon 6%, and Microsoft 16% versus 18% for the S&P 500 – individuals have still seen their net worths soar because of stakes in privately held AI companies, including Anthropic, OpenAI, and xAI.
Big Money
New data from Bloomberg shows that the 10 wealthiest tech founders and CEOs saw their collective net worth increase from $1.9T to $2.5T in 2025.
