This market will resolve according to the name ranked #2 on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index on December 31, 2026, 5:30 PM ET. The primary resolution source for this market will be the Bloomberg Billionaires Index (https://www.bloomberg.com/billionaires/). If the data for the specified date is not released by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, the Forbes Real-Time Billionaires List will be used (https://www.forbes.com/real-time-billionaires/#6aa3f0213d78). If neither source provides the specified date's data by January 2, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve according to the latest data point available on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.Trader consensus crowns Larry Page as the frontrunner for second-richest person by December 31, 2026, with a 60.5% implied probability, fueled by Alphabet's AI-driven stock surge that vaulted him to #2 on Forbes' real-time billionaires list at $257 billion as of late April—well ahead of challengers. Sergey Brin trails closely at 25.5% odds and $237 billion (#3), sharing Alphabet exposure, while Jeff Bezos (30.9%, $224 billion #4) benefits from Amazon's steady e-commerce gains but lags tech momentum. Bernard Arnault's 27% reflects luxury sector volatility at LVMH ($171 billion #7), as Meta's Mark Zuckerberg (25%) and Microsoft's Steve Ballmer (24.5%) hover amid AI competition. Recent Forbes April rankings solidified Page's lead post-2026 billionaire list release, though Q2 earnings and stock swings could shift the tight pack behind Elon Musk's unchallenged #1.
