The rapid rise of artificial intelligence has forged a new generation of high-powered billionaires. According to projections by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), the AI market is set to swell to $4.8 trillion by 2033—and its trailblazers are already enjoying the full spectrum of a billionaire lifestyle: from playing golf with Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago and cruising on mega-yachts to flying in private jets and snapping up ultra-luxury real estate in San Francisco, Miami, and Hawaii.
