Elon Musk became the third person in the world, whose fortune exceeded the $ 200 billion mark. Prior to that, such a record of wealth could boast of Musk’s “sworn friend” and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Bernard Arnault, head of the French multinational company LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton. Bezos hit the $ 200 billion mark in August 2020, Arnault last month, and Musk on Monday amid rising Tesla shares.
Musk is even richer now than he was in January this year, when Tesla shares were at their peak. Then he also became the richest man in the world, but not for long. Now Musk has received new options to buy Tesla shares, due to which he increased his stake in the company. Well, the rise in the value of Tesla shares brought him to the first place in the list of the richest people in the world. Interestingly, this time Musk is recognized as the richest man on the planet by both Forbes and Bloomberg. Previously, due to the difference in methods of calculating wealth, these authoritative publications were not always unanimous. According to Forbes, Musk’s fortune is $ 203.4 billion, Bloomberg’s estimate is $ 213 billion. On the second place of the main rich people in the world – Jeff Bezos with a fortune of 197 billion dollars.
Musk has already commented on his Forbes title of the richest man in the world. “I’m sending Jeffrey B. [Джеффу Безосу] a giant statue of the number “2” along with a silver medal “– wrote the head of Tesla in a short email.
