Gates joined the top 10 on Forbes magazine\u2019s billionaires list alongside Japanese, German, Canadian, South Korean and Swedish billionaires, including those with family fortunes from Britain and America. A broad mix of industries was on the list: Retail and media, property management and packaging, an investment firm and a couple of industrial conglomerates. Their fortunes almost added up to $100bn \u2013 equivalent to about 0.4% of the US\u2019s GDP that year.The oligarchy has changed drastically since then. Bernard Arnault, of French luxury group LVMH, Amancio Ortega, the Spanish clothing mogul, and Warren Buffett, the US investor, were the only old-school billionaires among the top 10 in 2025.<\/div>\n<div class=\"nqenglish-link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/technology\/2026\/mar\/08\/billionaires-tech-oligarchs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Read Full Story<\/a><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"nqenglish-disclaimer\">Technically enhanced content presented under fair use in public-interest journalism.<\/span><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>N Shorts Tech oligarchs reshape humanity while billionaires of old seem quaint From Gates to Musk and Altman, today\u2019s ultra-rich steer AI and tech, raising questions about who decides the futureWhen Bill Gates became the first modern IT mogul to reach the apex of wealth and power in 1992, the world was a very different [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":96619,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"googlesitekit_rrm_CAowl-PACw:productID":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2149],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-96618","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-shorts-en"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newzquest.in\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/96618","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newzquest.in\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newzquest.in\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newzquest.in\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newzquest.in\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=96618"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/newzquest.in\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/96618\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newzquest.in\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/96619"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newzquest.in\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=96618"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newzquest.in\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=96618"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newzquest.in\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=96618"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
