Viewers in shock at image worth '$4,500,000,000,000' captured at Trump's inauguration

The rich are set to get richer under the Trump administration

Donald Trump is back in office, and promising that America's 'Golden Age' is upon us, he's vowing to build big and build fast. Living up to the promises of his 'Make America Great Again' motto, Trump's inauguration speech covered everything from defense to manufacturing, listing what he thinks is currently wrong with America and how he plans to build on it from the Biden administration.

There were some huge names in attendance, and alongside three former Presidents and Joe Biden handing over power, there were celebrities ranging from Jake Paul to Amber Rose.

Silicon Valley was also out in force, with the heads of Amazon, Google, Apple, and Meta all there. Trump's right-hand man was obviously there, with Elon Musk once again grabbing the spotlight. Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, and Tim Cook were major headliners, with someone pointing out how much money was in one room.

Posting on X, one user reiterated how the worths of Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg, and Google CEO Sundar Pichai would be around $4.5 trillion.

In the post, they divisively wrote: "About $4.5 trillion in this image alone at the inauguration. The US is not a liberal democracy. It is, at best, a severe meritocracy, and at worst, an outright oligarchy."

Elon Musk is the world's richest man and is on track to becoming the world's first trillionaire, but with his wealth currently sitting at $433.9, he's still got a way to go.

Bezos is in second with a healthy $239.4 billion, while Zuckerberg's $211.8 billion is a close third. After that, Oracle's Larry Ellison is in fourth with $204.6 billion.

Pichai's net worth is harder to track down, but in 2024, it was reported to be in excess of $1.3 billion. He might be a long way off the rest of the tech bros' worth, but it's not exactly a tiny amount.



Cheering on the group, one person wrote: "Without those five guys, you wouldn't have internet, social media, a house, and nothing but to live under a tree, freezing and starving to death."

Another said, "That is *seriously* f**king cool. Can anyone seriously imagine the European Union producing an image like that?"

While a third concluded: "If it’s their ideas and their ingenuity that lead them to wealth then I’m ok with them lending those ideas and ingenuity to the country. We need our brightest minds making our nation’s decisions."

Trump is powering ahead with a new tech-focused future where all of the above are only set to get richer. In particular, Elon Musk's wealth has soared in the aftermath of the election. Cryptocurrencies have also climbed, with Bitcoin hitting a record high of $104,000 on January 18.

It'll be interesting to come back in another four years and see what the Silicon Valley boys are all worth then.
