Dr. Dre On Becoming A Billionaire: “I Don’t Chase Money. I Try To Make The Money Chase Me.” forbes.com/sites/mattcrai… #Forbes250 📸: Jamel Toppin for Forbes

Today, we published the annual @Forbes World's Billionaires list. There have never been so many billionaires as there are today, and they have never been as powerful as they are now. forbes.com/billionaires/

It's billionaires day here at @Forbes! Out now: our annual ranking of the planet's wealthiest people. There have never been more billionaires around the globe—and they have never been richer, from #1 Elon Musk's record-setting net worth to newcomers like Dr. Dre and Beyonce.

Trump's new FTC pick has advocated for "country of origin" disclosure rules for over a year, so we have a good idea of what he'd push for if confirmed. David MacNeil would be the 12th known billionaire in Trump's admin. My profile on MacNeil for @Forbes: forbes.com/sites/monicahu…

The world added roughly 1 new billionaire per day in 2025. We are, now more than ever, in our billionaire era. There are more of them than ever and they’re richer than ever. My latest @Forbes story breaks down the math. forbes.com/sites/chasewit…

The world’s richest person just hit another major milestone thanks to the soaring valuation of his rocket maker SpaceX. Read more: forbes.com/sites/mattduro… (Photo: Kevin Winter via Getty Images)

Ever wonder what a billionaire’s treehouse would look like? Here’s a tour of @raisingcanes founder @ToddGraves’ three-level Baton Rouge tree-home, complete with an Ewok-style swinging bridge, a disco ball and even a bathroom. My latest for @Forbes. forbes.com/sites/chasewit…

Breaking: @elonmusk just became the first person ever worth $500 billion. Musk is now half-way to becoming the world’s first trillionaire. Story by @DurotMatthew forbes.com/sites/mattduro…

Thanks for sharing your story, @lucy_guo! @Forbes #Under30Summit

The exact lineup of investors taking control of TikTok U.S. is still under wraps, but the network of players is in some cases nearly half a century in the making. More to come but for now, inside their ties to Trump and each other for @Forbes: forbes.com/sites/forbeswe…

@raisingcanes @ToddGraves @Forbes Thanks for showing me around Baton Rouge, @ToddGraves, and most importantly, introducing me to Cane.

.@ToddGraves, our founder, is currently featured in @Forbes! His story is a reminder that passion and perseverance can create a huge impact.

Todd did whatever it took to make his @raisingcanes dream happen. Now it’s one of America’s hottest fast-food chains and Todd is worth $22 billion, all from chicken fingers and Cane’s Sauce. Lots of great lessons in here! forbes.com/sites/chasewit…

This was the most fun I’ve had reporting a story. Todd graciously showed me around Baton Rouge and told me the wild story of how he became a chicken finger billionaire. From a bad college grade to a chicken claw blood pact to hitchhiking across the Alaskan tundra.

Out today! The front cover of the next @Forbes magazine: @ToddGraves of @raisingcanes forbes.com/sites/chasewit…

1/ New @Forbes magazine cover story—from @RashiShrivast18 and me—is our take on #CoreWeave, one of the biggest beneficiaries of the #AI boom. It's a fascinating firm built on bold bets, complex risk & no shortage of luck. Would love to hear what you think (link in comment):

1/ My latest for @Forbes is a profile of a founder who holds outsized influence in the race to improve AI models and hates Silicon Valley culture. @echen on aliens and Eminem but also bootstrapping @HelloSurgeAI and why he'd never go public: forbes.com/sites/phoebeli…

Despite reports to the contrary, @Forbes still ranks @elonmusk as the richest person in the world. But @larryellison is nearly $100B richer this AM and nipping at Musk's heels. It's not just Oracle's soaring stock Ellison has to thank reports @_pheebini: forbes.com/sites/phoebeli…

Donald Trump's net worth is up $3 billion in the last year, vaulting him 118 spots on the Forbes 400. He can thank the presidency. forbes.com/sites/danalexa…
