Their fortunes, worth hundreds of billions of dollars, come from industries such as technology, luxury goods. and e-commerce
However, isn't money the only indicator of wealth? Many cultures and philosophies suggest that true wealth is not measured in dollars or possessions. Rather, it is measured in deeper aspects such as health, love, happiness, and inner peace. In the end What's the point of having millions in the bank? If you don't have time to enjoy life or share it with the people you love?
For example, in Latin America and the Caribbean. Many people assume that wealth can be found through shared experiences. A nice meal with family or a conversation with friends at sunset. In these contexts Wealth is not measured by what you have. But it's measured by what you experience.

Perhaps the most important question is not “Who is the richest?” but “What does wealth mean to you?” Reflecting on this can help us appreciate what we already have and find a balance between our material goals and our personal happiness.
