1. Elon Musk: The Minimalist Maximalist

Net Worth: $433.9B | Country: United States
The world’s richest man lives in a $50,000 foldable house on the edge of his SpaceX launch site in Boca Chica, Texas. It’s not a performance — it’s a provocation. In an age when wealth often shouts, Musk whispers. That hasn’t stopped him from acquiring discreet compounds in Austin, including a $35 million estate reportedly designed for his expanding family. Even as he reclaims homes like Gene Wilder’s Bel-Air residence, Musk’s approach is less about opulence and more about control — over space, narrative, and future.

2. Jeff Bezos: The Collector

Net Worth: $239.4B | Country: United States
If Musk is ascetic, Bezos is the aesthete. His real estate reads like a billionaire’s grand tour: a $165 million estate in Beverly Hills with its own golf course, a 27,000-square-foot mansion in D.C., a Manhattan penthouse, a Hawaiian retreat, and an island ranch in Texas — headquarters of Blue Origin. His latest obsession? Indian Creek Island in Miami, where three properties worth $237 million form a triad of dominance. It’s not just luxury. It’s legacy building, brick by brick.

3. Mark Zuckerberg: Building Bunkers for the Future

Net Worth: $211.8B | Country: United States
Forget the metaverse — Zuckerberg’s real-world assets are more sci-fi than social. In Hawaii’s Kauai, he’s building a 1,200-acre compound complete with an underground bunker. His real estate isn’t performative wealth — it’s predictive. From his main residence in Palo Alto to a $23 million mansion in D.C., the Meta founder is quietly assembling a fortress-like future. Whether it’s privacy or paranoia, one thing is certain: Zuckerberg isn’t just buying property — he’s buying control.

4. Larry Ellison: The Island Sovereign

Net Worth: $204.6B | Country: United States
Ellison doesn’t collect homes. He collects empires. In 2012, he bought 98% of Lanai, the sixth-largest Hawaiian island. It now hosts Sensei wellness resorts, Four Seasons enclaves, and experimental agriculture labs. Add to that a Palm Beach resort, a London townhouse, and a Japanese-style compound in California. Ellison’s vision of wealth is feudal, immersive — and beautifully choreographed.

5. Bernard Arnault: The Maison Mastermind

Net Worth: $181.3B | Country: France
The chairman of LVMH lives like he builds: with exquisite detail. From Château Cheval Blanc in Bordeaux to a Courchevel residence and a 12-acre Parisian mansion, Arnault’s properties echo his brands — layered, architectural, unmistakably French. Even his Beverly Hills estate and Bahamian island feel tailored, not bought. Each home is an atelier of power.

6. Larry Page: The Invisible Billionaire

Net Worth: $161.4B | Country: United States
Google’s co-founder may be elusive in public, but his real estate footprint is quietly vast. A Manhattan penthouse, a private island in Fiji, and multiple California properties reflect a retreating lifestyle that prioritises isolation over invitation. Where others build palaces, Page builds perimeters.

7. Sergey Brin: Privacy, Personalised

Net Worth: $154.0B | Country: United States
Like Page, Brin’s tastes are hidden behind high hedges. A Malibu beach house, a New York pied-à-terre, and whispers of a Caribbean island speak to a lifestyle that is less about scale and more about invisibility — a luxury in itself.

8. Warren Buffett: The Oracle Who Stayed Put

Net Worth: $146.2B | Country: United States
While others build futuristic compounds, Buffett remains in his Omaha home bought in 1958 for $31,500. Its current value? Around $1.5 million. A lesson in restraint or a branding masterstroke? Either way, Buffett reminds the world that the most radical luxury today might be stability.

9. Steve Ballmer: Tech Wealth, Traditional Taste

Net Worth: $126.0B | Country: United States
The former Microsoft CEO has a taste for comfort over flash — from a 3-acre estate in Washington to a ski retreat in Vail. His homes are not spectacles. They’re sanctuaries. In a world obsessed with declarations of wealth, Ballmer’s approach reads almost analog — and all the more grounded for it.

10. Jensen Huang: The Quiet Conqueror

Net Worth: $120.2B | Country: United States
The NVIDIA CEO is perhaps the least recognisable face on this list, but his net worth has skyrocketed with the AI revolution. His properties in the Bay Area remain discreet, echoing his public persona — technical, understated, and precise. If there’s a new definition of tech luxury, Huang is scripting it.
