The Forbes 400 is Forbes’ annual ranking of the 400 wealthiest people in America. The 2025 edition holds a combined $6.6 trillion — up $1.2 trillion in a single year, the largest one-year jump on record. This dashboard lets you explore who is actually on that list, and what its shape reveals.
Read as a dataset rather than a leaderboard, the Forbes 400 is a portrait of how concentrated American wealth has become. The top 10 names hold about a third of the $6.6 trillion. The average member is 70 years old, and just seven are under 40. And although two-thirds of the list is labeled “self-made,” only about one in eight came from a genuinely working-class background — the rest inherited, or started from a comfortable one.
Below you’ll find the headline numbers, then breakdowns by industry, geography, age, gender, and self-made path, and finally the full sortable list of all 400 names. For the full story behind the data, read Anatomy of the Forbes 400 and How Extreme Wealth Is Counted.
