Elon Musk on the fast track: The founder of Tesla increases his fortune by 7.2 billion dollars in one day and is now the second richest person in the world. The Swiss lag behind in the ranking of billionaires.
The US electric car maker Tesla’s rally on the stock market is causing the assets of company chief Elon Musk to continue to rise. According to the “Bloomberg Billionaires Index” ranking of billionaires, the 49-year-old star businessman surpassed Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates on Monday and is now the second richest person in the world. However, your wealth would be significantly greater if you didn’t donate that much money.
Responsible for Musk’s rapid rise in the billionaire rankings is the sustained sharp rise in Tesla’s stock price. More recently, it was up 6.5 percent and sent Musk’s fortune grow by 7.2 billion to $ 127.9 billion (116.6 billion Swiss francs) in a single day. Since the beginning of the year it has already increased by 100.3 billion dollars (91.54 billion Swiss francs).
At the top of the list of billionaires remains the undisputed head of Amazon, Jeff Bezos, whose fortune is estimated at $ 182 billion according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. Nine Swiss are among the 500 richest people in the world.
Genevan businessman Ernesto Bertarelli, with a fortune of US $ 18.9 billion, is ranked 87th among the richest Swiss. The Blocher family of industrialists and Roche co-owners Hoffmann are represented several times in the ranking.
Billionaire charts, such as the Bloomberg Billionaires Index or Forbes lists, are only estimates based on publicly available information about assets such as stocks, real estate, artwork, and other luxury items. On the “Forbes Billionaires List,” Musk currently ranks fourth with a fortune of $ 110.5 billion.
