No country dominates the world in more statistically categories centered around wealth than the United States. 

Including this one; America has produced more billionaires than China, Russia and Germany combined. 

Currently there are roughly 2,600 billionaires on the planet and almost 800 are American.  While it’s tough to actually land on this exclusive list and secure a 10 figure wealth, almost anyone can strive to emulate a billionaire. 

One way is by wearing the same watch as one the most famous tech titans on Earth. 

Spoiler alert! If you don’t think you can afford some of these watches, think again…

The top tech billionaires can afford any timepiece they want. Some have very extravagant watch tastes, some surprisingly do not. 

Larry Ellison

Net Worth:  $92.5 billion

The co-founder of Oracle is a watch connoisseur, and he definitely has a type; Swiss watches.  He’s been seen and photographed wearing almost every uber luxe brand from Switzerland, indulging Rolex, Girard-Perregaux, Panerai, TAG Heuer and Richard Mille. 

Bill Gates

Net Worth:  $127.1 billion

Bill Gates has been called a lot of things. Baller is not one of them. Does it surprise you the co-founder of Microsoft isn’t trying to make a statement with his time piece?

Gates doesn’t cut corners, or pennies when it comes to his residences, but when it comes to his watch collection, he chooses function over expensive style every time. 

He rocks a Casio Duro, retailed at between $70 – $150. 

It still tells the time as effectively as one worth 10,000 times more, and with lofty goals of saving the environment, providing drinking water to people without access to it and vaccinating children in third-world countries, Gates has more important things to do than watch shopping. 

 

Jeff Bezos

Net Worth:  $178.3 billion

The watch Jeff Bezos rocks frequently is not something you can get same day delivery on from Amazon Prime. 

No, The Ulysse Nardin Dual Time 233-88-7 watch is one that you’ll need to leave the house for. It costs just under $13 grand or so. 

Jack Dorsey

Net Worth:  $13 billion

If you watched any of Dorsey’s testimony to Congress on Thursday, you may have noticed something located over Dorsey’s shoulder that was evident when he appeared on camera remotely.  It’s a BlockClock mini, a Wi-Fi enabled contraption that displays the current price of bitcoin and other cryptocurrency data. 

That is Dorsey’s time piece of choice these days, but he also does wear a watch. 

An Apple Watch. 

Tim Cook

Net Worth: $1 billion

Is this even a question?  Yeah, an Apple Watch.
