Taylor Swift has joined Elon Musk as ranking among the world's wealthiest people, according to a new rich list.

The American pop star entered the Forbes World's Billionaires List for the first time with USD$1.1bn, along with Sam Altman, creator of the AI chatbot ChatGPT on USD$1bn.

LVMH French luxury goods titan Bernard Arnault and his family topped the chart with an estimated USD$233bn.

Forbes said there were a record 2,781 billionaires for 2024.

The figure is 141 more than last year and 26 more than the previous record set in 2021. Forbes added the elite were richer than ever - with a collective wealth of $14.2tn (£11.3tn).
