ByteDance, the parent company of TikTok, remains the world's most valuable startup with a valuation of $225 billion. This figure is higher than the combined net worth of India’s two wealthiest individuals, Mukesh Ambani and Gautam Adani. According to Forbes, Mukesh Ambani's net worth is $116 billion, while Adani's is $83 billion. Together, their combined wealth is still lower than ByteDance's valuation.

Elon Musk’s SpaceX takes second place with a market value of $200 billion. Microsoft-backed OpenAI ranks third with a market cap of $80 billion. The fourth spot is taken by another US-based company, Stripe, valued at $70 billion.

This means the top 10 consists of seven US companies, two Chinese companies, and one from the UK.
