After Tesla’s incredible years in the stock market, founder, CEO, and principal owner Elon Musk has surpassed Microsoft founder Bill Gates as the second richest man in the world.
Elon Musk is now worth $ 128 billion, or 1,097 billion crowns, according to Bloomberg. About three-quarters of the assets are held by Tesla, whose share price has risen 530 percent this year.
At the beginning of the year, the 49-year-old celebrity businessman was ranked 35th on the world’s richest list, with assets of around $ 28 billion. Thus, this year around 100 billion have been added.
According to Bloomberg, Bill Gates is worth $ 127.7 billion. The reason he lost second place is above all that he has given more and more to charity. Since 2006, he has donated more than $ 27 billion to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
The richest man in the world is still Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, with a fortune of around 182 billion dollars, or 1.560 billion crowns.
