Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen has joined the ranks of the world's 200 wealthiest individuals, boasting a net worth of $15.3 billion as of November 7, 2025. Larsen's fortune is largely due to his 18% stake in Ripple and 2.7 billion XRP holdings, valued at $6.3 billion. The resolution of the SEC's lawsuit against Ripple in August 2024 and a favorable regulatory climate have significantly boosted his wealth. Additionally, Ripple's recent $500 million strategic investment at a $40 billion valuation in October 2025 has further enhanced his financial standing.
