Description:
The world’s wealthiest technology moguls have ridden the AI-fueled frenzy to never-before-seen heights. Forbes found 342 billionaires with fortunes in tech, up from 313 last year. As a group, they are worth a combined $2.6 trillion, more than any other industry and an astounding $750 billion more than last year, a bigger gain than any other industry. <br/><br/>Of course the biggest reason behind the tech rally is the artificial intelligence craze, as investors rush into companies building AI products or selling products to AI companies. <br/><br/>U.S. tech giants are getting in on the action, too, investing heavily in AI’s large language models and the processing power they require, exciting investors and making their founders even richer. <br/><br/>Read the full story on Forbes: https://www.forbes.com/sites/phoebeliu/2024/04/02/tech-billionaires-have-added-an-as[…]billion-to-their-fortunes-over-the-past-year/?sh=3d511b726d2b<br/><br/>Subscribe to FORBES: https://www.youtube.com/user/Forbes?sub_confirmation=1<br/><br/>Fuel your success with Forbes.

And hotels, airlines and cities are spending millions to land them. <br/><br/>Travel brands have begun heavily courting Indian tourists, often by tapping celebrities as influencers. Bollywood icon Shah Rukh Khan promotes Dubai and Katrina Kaif, a British actress who makes Hindi-language films, professes her loyalty to Accor. Actor Ranveer Singh appears in ads for Abu Dhabi, while his wife, Deepika Padukone, is the global brand ambassador of Qatar Airways. Meanwhile, Neeraj Chopra, the reigning Olympic gold medalist and world champion in javelin, has been enlisted to promote Switzerland’s spectacular alpine landscapes.<br/><br/>With more than 1.4 billion people, India now has the world’s largest population and the fifth-largest economy. Outbound travel from India is growing much faster than from any other country, which has led to a flurry of predictions that have travel brands salivating.<br/><br/>Read the full story on Forbes: <br/>https://www.forbes.com/sites/suzannerowankelleher/2024/03/23/indian-outbound-tourists-international-travel/<br/><br/>0:00 Introduction<br/>0:13 Why Travel Brands Are Betting on Indian Travelers<br/>1:10 Major Indian Celebrities As Travel Brand Ambassadors<br/>1:44 Strengthening International Travel From India<br/>2:36 How The U.S. Can Attract More Travelers from India<br/>3:17 What the Future Holds<br/><br/>Subscribe to FORBES: https://www.youtube.com/user/Forbes?sub_confirmation=1<br/><br/>Fuel your success with Forbes.

The richest woman is once again Françoise Bettencourt Meyers, the Fresh heiress to the L'Oréal fortune. She’s worth an estimated $99.5 billion. The richest self-made woman remains Swiss shipping tycoon Rafaela Aponte-Diamant ($33.1 billion).<br/><br/>Overall, 66% of the world’s billionaires are self-made—meaning they founded or cofounded their company or established their own fortune, rather than inheriting it–down from 69% in 2023. That includes nearly all 17 of the cryptocurrency billionaires on the 2024 list, who have come roaring out of the “crypto winter,” thanks to Bitcoin and other crypto assets trading at record highs.<br/><br/>Read the full story on Forbes: https://www.forbes.com/sites/chasewithorn/2024/04/02/forbes-38th-annual-worlds-billionaires-list-facts-and-figures-2024/?sh=32eb225943a6<br/><br/>Subscribe to FORBES: https://www.youtube.com/user/Forbes?sub_confirmation=1<br/><br/>Fuel your success with Forbes.
