The billionaire class of 2035 is emerging from five frontier domains—compute, fusion, quantum, neurotech, and climate arbitrage—reshaping global power and the foundations of civilization.

In the span of a single week, laboratories delivered breakthroughs that capture zero-point vibrational dynamics, stabilized quantum states at room temperature, and unlocked magnetically mediated topological qubits; condensed terahertz systems to chip scale and demonstrated femtojoule all-optical logic; and enabled volitional thought decoding alongside safer cortical interfaces. Together, these results redefine what is feasible in quantum physics, photonics, and neurotechnolog
