Only a handful of companies in existence have by themselves, crossed $1 trillion in valuation. This includes Microsoft, Nvidia, Apple, Alphabet, Amazon, Saudi Aramco, and Meta. The most recent case is that of Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway in late August.

Nvidia also joined the $1 trillion club in May 2023, and reached $3 trillion in June, becoming the second most valuable company in the world, with Microsoft ahead and Apple behind.

Who are the other people on the list of potential future trillionaires?

Gautam Adani may become the second after Musk in achieving the trillionaire status, according to the report, which added that this could happen in 2028 if his annual wealth growth rate remained at 123%.
