Who's Next To Join Trillionaire Club? Prediction Markets Say Mark Zuckerberg Has The Best Odds Published By, Last Updated: June 28, 2026, 16:21 IST Data cited by CNBC shows Kalshi traders give Zuckerberg a 32% chance of becoming the world's second trillionaire by 2033. Meta chief executive Mark Zuckerberg. (AFP file photo) After Elon Musk became the world’s first trillionaire following SpaceX’s public market debut on June 12, attention has shifted to who could be next to cross the historic wealth milestone. According to traders on prediction market platform Kalshi, Meta chief executive Mark Zuckerberg is currently the leading candidate, although they still believe the chances remain relatively low. Data cited by CNBC shows Kalshi traders give Zuckerberg a 32% chance of becoming the world’s second trillionaire by 2033.
That places him ahead of Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang, who has a 21% chance, while Dell Technologies founder and chief executive Michael Dell follows with 6%. Despite leading the market, Zuckerberg still has a long way to go before reaching a net worth of $1 trillion. His fortune is estimated at just under $200 billion, meaning it would need to grow by around five times to reach the landmark figure. Market participants appear to be placing their bets on the long-term potential of Meta’s artificial intelligence business rather than Zuckerberg’s current wealth. Kalshi’s contracts on the question are set to expire in 2033. If no individual becomes the world’s second trillionaire before then, the contracts will settle as unsuccessful.
Trading activity has also remained modest so far, with a little over $7,500 worth of contracts changing hands. Huang, whose estimated net worth is slightly above $180 billion, is viewed as the second-strongest contender. Meanwhile, Michael Dell ranks third despite having an estimated fortune of about $240 billion, which is currently higher than both Zuckerberg’s and Huang’s. Although prediction market traders remain cautious, some longer-term forecasts suggest the trillionaire club may soon expand. An Oxfam report released in January 2025 estimated that as many as five people could become trillionaires within the next decade.
