The title “Richest Person in the World” currently has a particularly beautiful sound for Elon Musk. He’s not new to him at all. In January 2021, thanks to rising share prices at Tesla and SpaceX, the entrepreneur rose to number one on the constantly updated list of billionaires from “Forbes” for the first time. The triumph, however, was only to be short-lived. The slump in price at the car manufacturer ensured that Musk was quickly overtaken by the old leader, then Amazon boss Jeff Bezos. In April 2021, LVMH CEO Bernard Arnault passed Musk. But now he’s back at the top – and with a very special record. (Also Read: The 5 Hour Rule That Made Bill Gates and Elon Musk Rich )
Elon Musk: richest person in the world
Because the Tesla boss has moved into the club of the 200 billion dollar super-rich. “Forbes” put his fortune on September 29, 2021 at 200.3 billion dollars (the equivalent of around 171.7 billion euros). According to the US business magazine, Musk is only the third person after Bezos and Arnault to have crossed this magical border. This was made possible by another run on Tesla shares.
According to the information, they closed at the beginning of the week with a plus of 2.2 percent at the highest level since February 2021. Tesla shares had already gained a total of around 270 percent in 2020. Musk was now, according to “Forbes”, richer by 3.8 billion dollars in one fell swoop and overtook Bezos. On the same day, he lost a billion dollars due to the price losses of the Amazon share and came in second with 197.7 billion dollars (169.4 billion euros).

Musk mocks Bezos
Musk apparently gives his new record very special satisfaction. When “Forbes” asked him for a statement, he replied by email: “I’m sending Jeffrey B. a gigantic statue of the number ‘2’ and a silver medal.” Musk should not only allude to the current “Forbes” ranking. His private space company SpaceX recently received a multi-billion dollar contract from the US space agency NASA for a flight to the moon. Bezos’ company Blue Origin had also applied for the historic mission and filed a lawsuit against its defeat .
