Forbes has been tracking the richest people in the world for nearly 45 years.

Back in 1982, there were just 13 billionaires on the original Forbes 400 list. Five years later, our inaugural World’s Billionaires list identified 140 members of the three comma club. But each of these rankings was updated only once a year—and just for context, floppy disks were all the rage at the time, and it would still be another few years before the public got access to the World Wide Web.

Fast-forward to 2014, we’d unveiled our real-time billionaire rankings on Forbes.com, where the wealth of more than 1,600 billionaires would update every five minutes alongside stock prices when markets were open. For the first time, anyone could go online and track the world’s wealthiest alongside our newsroom.

And this week brings the most substantive update to our Real-Time Billionaires page in years—overhauled for the AI era to be smarter, faster and richer. We’re tracking the fortunes of 3,410 billionaires. You can see who’s up—and who’s down—here.
