<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>CoreWeave Co-founder: Michael Intrator</strong></h4>
<p class="has-text-align-justify has-text-align-justify">Michael Intrator, co-founder and CEO of CoreWeave, stands out with an estimated net worth of $6 billion. His company provides cloud infrastructure optimised for AI workloads, a sector that has seen explosive demand as AI models become increasingly compute-intensive.</p>
<p class="has-text-align-justify has-text-align-justify">The company launched its initial public offering (“IPO”) in March 2025 at $40 per share and has seen extreme volatility since then. Shares peaked at $183.58 on 20 June 2025, but are currently trading in the low $90 range.</p>
<p class="has-text-align-justify has-text-align-justify">CoreWeave has a strategic partnership with Nvidia, which is not only its primary supplier of graphics processing unit (“GPUs”), but also a major investor.</p>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Scale AI Co-founders: Alexandr Wang &amp; Lucy Guo</strong></h4>
<p class="has-text-align-justify has-text-align-justify">Alexandr Wang and Lucy Guo, co-founders of Scale AI, are currently two of the world’s youngest billionaires.</p>
<p class="has-text-align-justify has-text-align-justify">The pair met when working for social question-and-answer website Quora, and started Scale AI in 2016. The San Francisco-based firm provides data annotation and other services that are used to build, test, and refine AI systems.</p>
<p class="has-text-align-justify has-text-align-justify">Since then, Guo has founded Backend Ventures (a technology-focused venture capital firm) in 2019, and later Passes (a content creator monetisation platform) in 2022.</p>
<p class="has-text-align-justify has-text-align-justify">More recently, in June 2025, Meta <a href="https://www.visualcapitalist.com/ranked-the-biggest-ai-funding-rounds-of-2025-so-far/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">invested $14.3 billion into Scale AI</a>, a deal which also placed Wang at the head of Meta’s Superintelligence Lab.</p>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>OpenAI Alumni: Dario Amodei, Ilya Sutskever &amp; Mira Murati</strong></h4>
<p class="has-text-align-justify has-text-align-justify">Three of OpenAI’s most prominent alumni, Dario Amodei, Ilya Sutskever, and Mira Murati all helm companies valued in the billions.</p>
<p class="has-text-align-justify has-text-align-justify">Amodei, formerly vice president of research at OpenAI, co-founded Anthropic in 2021. The company is responsible for Claude, which, as of January 2025, had <a href="https://www.visualcapitalist.com/ranked-most-popular-ai-tools-by-monthly-site-visits/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">105 million monthly users</a>.</p>
<p class="has-text-align-justify has-text-align-justify">Sutskever, formerly chief scientist at OpenAI, co-founded Safe Superintelligence in 2024. The company is valued at over $30 billion, with investment from firms like Andreesen Horowitz and Alphabet.</p>
<p class="has-text-align-justify has-text-align-justify">Last but not least is Mira Murati, former chief technology officer at OpenAI. She founded Thinking Machines Lab in February 2025, raising $2 billion from a consortium of investors including Andreessen Horowitz, Nvidia, and AMD. The company is set to announce its first product later this year.</p>

<p class="has-text-align-justify"><strong>At the same time that these billionaires were getting richer, hundreds of millions were getting poorer and hundreds of millions more were driven to extreme poverty.</strong></p>

<p class="has-text-align-justify">In February 2021, the <a href="https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2021/02/covid-employment-global-job-loss/">World Economic Forum reported</a> that according to the International Labour Organisation, 114 million jobs were lost in 2020 and others saw their working hours reduced due to covid restrictions. “The ongoing crisis has disrupted labour markets around the world at an unprecedented scale.”</p>
<p class="has-text-align-justify">Since the covid pandemic began, <a href="https://www.oxfam.org/en/world-midst-hunger-pandemic-conflict-coronavirus-and-climate-crisis-threaten-push-millions">Oxfam reported</a>, vulnerable communities around the world have been sending a clear, urgent and repeated message: “Hunger may kill us before coronavirus.”  Oxfam noted it was the greatest rise in inequality:</p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote has-white-background-color has-text-color has-background has-medium-font-size">
<p class="has-text-align-justify">More than a year and a half since the coronavirus pandemic was declared, the economic decline caused by lockdowns and closures of borders, businesses, and markets, has pushed tens of millions more people into hunger especially the most disadvantaged. Mass unemployment and severely disrupted food production have led to a 40% surge in global food prices – the highest rise in over a decade. More than 40 million people experienced extreme levels hunger primarily due to economic shocks largely caused by the pandemic. This is a near 70 per cent increase over the previous year.</p>
<p class="has-text-align-justify">The pandemic has also laid bare the greatest rise of inequality since records began. The estimated number of people living in extreme poverty is projected to reach 745 million by the end of 2021, an increase of 100 million since the pandemic started.</p>
<p class="has-text-align-justify">Meanwhile, the rich continued to get richer.  The wealth of the 10 richest people … increased by $413 billion last year, enough to cover the entire UN humanitarian appeal for 2021 more than 11 times over.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Meet the 40 New Billionaires Who Got Rich “Fighting” Covid</strong></h3>
<p class="has-text-align-justify">On 6 April 2021, Forbes published an article ‘<em><a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/giacomotognini/2021/04/06/meet-the-40-new-billionaires-who-got-rich-fighting-covid-19/">Meet The 40 New Billionaires Who Got Rich Fighting Covid-19</a></em>’ which listed 40 new billionaires who got rich from covid in 2020. The following are extracts from the article</p>
<p class="has-text-align-justify">Shortly after the World Health Organisation declared covid-19 a global pandemic on 11 March 2020, markets collapsed and economies around the world plunged into recession.</p>
<p class="has-text-align-justify">At the same time, hundreds of billionaires fell from the ranks of Forbes’ World’s Billionaires list.</p>
<p class="has-text-align-justify">One year later, things couldn’t be more different: a record 493 new billionaires joined the list. Among those newcomers were at least 40 new entrants who drew their fortunes from companies involved in “fighting” covid.</p>
<p class="has-text-align-justify">Some became household names due to the “vaccines” they helped develop. Others got rich by making everything from personal protective equipment and diagnostic tests to antibody treatments and software that helps authorities schedule vaccination campaigns.</p>
<p class="has-text-align-justify">Some vaccine companies had been so successful that their rise over the year up to March 2021 had minted several new billionaires from the same company, including four apiece from Moderna and Tianjin-based CanSino Biologics.</p>

They were worth a collective $12.7 trillion – $400 billion less than in 2021. <a href="https://www.forbes.com/billionaires-2022/"><em>Forbes</em> noted</a>: “The number of billionaires worldwide fell, but 40% of those who remained got richer.”</p>
<p class="has-text-align-justify">As at 10 March 2023, <em>Forbes</em> counted 2,640 billionaires globally, down from the previous year’s 2,668. Altogether, the world’s billionaires are now worth $12.2 trillion, a drop of $500 billion from $12.7 trillion in March 2022. “Nearly half the list is poorer than a year ago,”  <a href="https://www.forbes.com/billionaires/"><em>Forbes</em> wrote</a>. “Falling stocks, wounded unicorns and rising interest rates translated into a down year for the world’s wealthiest people.”</p>
<p class="has-text-align-justify">They’re not poor enough. Their ill-gotten gains should be returned to the people who suffered and continue to suffer while the self-appointed elites have enriched themselves.</p>

The unusual request comes amid reports of pilots dying suddenly in the cockpit and <strong><a href="https://twitter.com/NALINbhr/status/1614694664757706752" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">planes falling</a></strong> out of the sky.</p>
<p>The head of a <strong><a href="https://usfreedomflyers.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">pilots group</a></strong> said they are receiving calls from wealthy clients requesting “unvaccinated pilots and crew” to fly them to the World Economic Forum (WEF) Conference which kicked off on Jan. 16 through Jan. 20 in Davos, Switzerland.</p>

<p>A former pilot made the comment in a video on Twitter (see below). He said billionaires have plenty of options in the US where many aviation companies didn’t mandate the mRNA vaccines for their pilots and crews.</p>
<p>He said passengers who buy tickets to fly “don’t have that luxury” since they are mandated to get the vaccines.</p>
<p>The WEF Conference is an annual gathering of more than 2,700 government and business leaders from around the world.</p>
<p>Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp is in Davos to participate in the WEF Conference. The theme of this year’s conference is “Cooperation in a Fragmented World.”</p>
