Palantir CEO Alex Karp’s wealth has surged nearly 98% this year, outpacing billionaires like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Bill Gates. Bloomberg’s Billionaire Index shows Karp’s net worth at $14.3 billion, up $7.11 billion in 2025 alone, thanks to Palantir’s massive stock rally. Shares of the AI-driven software company have soared nearly 567% over the past year on strong earnings, rapid revenue growth, and investor enthusiasm for its artificial intelligence products. Karp, who co-founded Palantir in 2003, owns about 2.5% of the company through various share classes, according to its 2025 proxy filing. The company’s second-quarter results blew past Wall Street expectations, with revenue hitting $1.004 billion versus estimates of $939.71 million. Adjusted earnings of $0.16 per share also topped the $0.14 consensus. U.S. commercial revenue jumped 93%, while U.S. government revenue climbed 53%. Palantir has now beaten analyst forecasts for eight straight quarters and raised its full-year guidance to $4.14–$4.15 billion from $3.89–$3.90 billion. Third-quarter revenue is expected to come in between $1.083 billion and $1.087 billion. Karp’s rapid wealth growth highlights both Palantir’s AI-driven momentum and its market dominance, placing him ahead of many of the world’s most prominent tech leaders in 2025 gains.
