Elon Musk Surpasses His Own Record

American billionaire, owner of the X social network, and CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, Elon Musk has surpassed his own record and become the richest person in the world once again, according to Bloomberg.

“Elon Musk’s fortune reached a historic high of $347.8 billion on Friday,” the publication reports. This result is partly attributed to the continuous rise in Tesla's stock prices. Additionally, Donald Trump's victory in the U.S. elections has brought the businessman back into the political spotlight.

The previous record of $340.4 billion was set by Musk in November 2021. Jeff Bezos ranks second on Bloomberg's ranking chart with a net worth of $219 billion.
