America’s billionaires just proved capitalism works better than ever. The Forbes 400 list shows our richest citizens are worth a record 6.6 trillion dollars. That’s 1.2 trillion more than last year alone.
Elon Musk leads the pack with 428 billion dollars. He’s the first American to ever break 400 billion. This genius built Tesla, SpaceX, and other companies that employ thousands of hardworking Americans.
It now takes 3.8 billion dollars just to make the list. That’s 500 million more than last year. While Democrats cry about inequality, these business leaders create jobs and drive innovation.
Alice Walton from Walmart became America’s richest woman at 106 billion dollars. Her family built the biggest retail empire in history. They employ over 2 million Americans and serve families in every community.
Twenty-six billionaires fell off the list this year. Some got richer but others got even richer faster. This shows American capitalism rewards those who work hardest and take the biggest risks.
These wealth creators don’t just hoard money like liberals claim. They invest in new businesses, create jobs, and fund research. Their success lifts up entire communities across our great nation.
Tesla stock jumped 56 percent as Americans embraced Musk’s electric cars. SpaceX keeps America ahead of China in the space race. These are the patriots fighting for American dominance.
While Washington politicians waste taxpayer money, private entrepreneurs build real wealth. They prove free markets beat big government every single time. God bless American capitalism and the dreamers who make it work.
