This would not count any flights by Virgin Galactic as they do not go up to 100km.
There are currently 10 people in space as of April 12, 2024 (check the current number at https://whoisinspace.com/) and there is a scheduled Blue Origin space tourism flight, but that would only bring us to 16. To set a new record, we will probably need a confluence of an ISS or Tiangong crew change happening at the same time as a space tourism flight.
If Wikipedia records a new record for number of people in space (100km), this resolves to YES.
