Elon Musk Becomes World’s Richest Person, Jeff Bezos left behind
Mumbai : Tesla CEO Elon Musk has become the richest man in the world, leaving behind Jeff Bezos of Amazon. Elon Musk’s net worth exceeded US $ 188 billion, which is a billion dollars more than the US $ 187 billion net worth of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. This happened due to the continuous increase in share price of Tesla.
Electric car manufacturer Tesla owner Elon Musk has now become the world’s richest person. He has left behind Amazon owner Jeff Bezos in the list of billionaires released by Bloomberg. This list includes 500 billionaires. Jeff Bezos was the richest person in the world since 2017.
2020 may have been the same for the world, but for Elon Musk, the last 12 months have been excellent. Musk, starting in 2020 with a value of around US $ 27 billion, saw his wealth increase by $ 150 billion, a sign of rapid financial change for him. This is probably the fastest speed of wealth creation in history. Tesla has a huge contribution in this.
The South African-born engineer has benefited from strong confidence in Tesla’s shares. In addition, Musk holds a large stake in Space-X, which is worth about US $ 15 billion. Jeff Bezos’ divorce is also a factor behind this change.
Had Bezos not been divorced, he would still have been the richest man in the world. Significantly, after the divorce, Bezos gave a large part of the property to his former wife. Apart from this, he also donated a lot. He donated $ 68 million worth of shares in November last year.
