Will Elon Musk be the world's richest person according to the Forbes Billionaires List on January 1, 2026?

To resolve yes, Elon must be listed as the worlds wealthiest person on the Forbes real-time billionaires list at 12pm pst on January 1, 2026.

Only this date will be checked. If he drops in the interim and returns to #1 this will still resolve to yes.

If the Forbes list no longer exists, this Bloomberg list will be used. https://www.bloomberg.com/billionaires/

If neither exist it will resolve 50/50 as we will likely have other bigger issues 😂
