Brin&#8217;s estimated net worth fell to $274.1 billion as Page&#8217;s dropped to $297.2 billion. Musk&#8217;s wealth has skyrocketed to unprecedented highs following a historic IPO for his aerospace firm, SpaceX, which has since sent his net worth to an estimated $1.3 trillion.  <\/p>\n<p>        Key Background          <\/p>\n<p class=\"text text-block paragraph text-left neo-font-paragraph-xl-reg  yf-18d6y07\" style=\"text-decoration: none; font-style: normal; text-transform: none; text-align: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal;\">Dell&#8217;s roughly 40% stake in his company has propelled his surge in net worth. Dell Technologies&#8217; stock has climbed well over 200% since the start of the year, when shares traded around the $127 mark. Dell has benefited from explosive AI server demand during the AI boom. The company reported 88% year-over-year revenue growth in its latest quarter, logging a 757% increase in AI server revenue from the year prior. Dell expects AI revenue to reach $60 billion this year, up from its previous estimate in February of $50 billion.  <\/p>\n<p>        Further Reading          <\/p>\n<p class=\"text text-block paragraph text-left neo-font-paragraph-xl-reg  yf-18d6y07\" style=\"text-decoration: none; font-style: normal; text-transform: none; text-align: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/tylerroush\/2026\/05\/29\/michael-dell-earns-35-billion-from-dells-best-day-ever-passing-zuckerberg-as-6th-richest\/\" data-ylk=\"slk:Michael%20Dell&#039;s%20Net%20Worth%20Surges%20Up%20%2435%20Billion%20From%20Dell&#039;s%20Best%20Day%20Ever%E2%80%94Passing%20Zuckerberg%20As%206th%20Richest;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;source:content-canvas%20default\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Michael Dell&#039;s Net Worth Surges Up $35 Billion From Dell&#039;s Best Day Ever\u2014Passing Zuckerberg As 6th Richest&quot;,&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yTrafficOrigin&quot;:&quot;content-canvas default&quot;}\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Michael Dell&#8217;s Net Worth Surges Up $35 Billion From Dell&#8217;s Best Day Ever\u2014Passing Zuckerberg As 6th Richest<\/a> (Forbes)  <\/p>\n<p class=\"text text-block paragraph text-left neo-font-paragraph-xl-reg  yf-18d6y07\" style=\"text-decoration: none; font-style: normal; text-transform: none; text-align: inherit; font-variant-numeric: normal;\">This article was originally published on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/antoniopequenoiv\/2026\/06\/17\/michael-dell-overtakes-larry-ellison-as-worlds-fifth-richest-person-amid-dell-stock-surge\/\" data-ylk=\"slk:Forbes.com;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;source:content-canvas%20default\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Forbes.com&quot;,&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yTrafficOrigin&quot;:&quot;content-canvas default&quot;}\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Forbes.com<\/a>  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Topline Dell Technologies chief Michael Dell overtook Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison as the world&#8217;s fifth-wealthiest person Wednesday, benefiting&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":136022,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[167],"tags":[11391,21894,813,701,614],"class_list":["post-136021","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-larry-ellison","tag-billionaires-list","tag-dell-technologies","tag-larry-ellison","tag-michael-dell","tag-sergey-brin"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@people\/116845577643402411","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136021","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=136021"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136021\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/136022"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=136021"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=136021"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=136021"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
