The world’s richest people attended President Donald Trump’s inauguration, showcasing their strong ties to the outgoing administration. Among them were top tech billionaires like Jeff Bezos ($245 billion), Mark Zuckerberg ($217 billion), and Elon Musk ($449 billion). The trio was seated next to top U.S. officials and Trump’s family during the swearing-in ceremony in the Capitol rotunda.
Bezos, the second-richest person in the world, attended with his fiancée Lauren Sanchez. Zuckerberg brought his wife Priscilla Chan, while Musk made a prominent appearance alongside both Bezos and Zuckerberg, cheering on Trump during his inaugural speech.
The gathering highlights the influence the world’s wealthiest tech leaders could have on U.S. policy under Trump’s administration, which has a pro-business agenda. The billionaire attendees also reflect Trump’s close relationships with key figures in the business world, including Musk, who will co-head an advisory body focused on cutting federal spending and reforming programs like Social Security and Medicare.
