Elon Musk is now the richest person in the world

Congratulations to Elon Musk! He just became the richest person in the world, with a net worth of more than $185 billion. This week's increase in Tesla’s share price pushed Elon Musk past Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, who had been the richest person in the world since 2017 and is currently worth about $184 billion. Elon Musk’s wealth surge really took place over this past year, which marks the fastest rise to the top of the list in history. For reference, Elon Musk started 2020 being worth about $27 billion, and was barely in the top 50 richest people. Elon Musk has gained more wealth over the past 12 months than Bill Gates’ entire net worth of $132 billion!
