As Bloomberg and Forbes both calculate, Elon Musk has once again captured the title of the richest man in the world. His fortune is now north of $ 200 billion.
Tesla and SpaceX boss Elon Musk is back at the top. In particular, the recent rise in the price of Tesla shares has once again overtaken Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. Bloomberg’s rich list Musk’s fortune is now around 213 billion, Forbes slightly lower at just above $ 200 billion.
Musk last reached this level in January of this year, when Tesla’s excellent business figures kicked off a real price rally. Added to this was Tesla’s entry into cryptocurrencies. The values ​​seemed to know only one direction.
After some disillusionment with losses of up to $ 50 billion in its assets, Musk has seen renewed gains since about the middle of the year. The rise and fall of Musk’s fortune is largely linked to Tesla’s success. He alone holds around 20 percent of Tesla shares, which are currently valued at 157 billion in his portfolio. Should SpaceX go public one day, new billions could rain down on Musk. According to Bloomberg, he holds around 47 percent of this company.
Together, Tesla and SpaceX employ around 110,000 people. Musk also takes care of Neuralink and a few other projects. So it’s no wonder that time is in short supply in the billionaire’s life.
As Musk has now confirmed himself, it is precisely this lack of time that has now “half” ended the partnership with the Canadian artist Grimes. The two had been a couple since spring 2018 and had a child together in 2020 that they named X AE A-Xii. But since Musk’s center of life is more in Texas, while Grimes mainly works in Los Angeles, a continuation of the partnership is difficult despite all the love. You have therefore “half” separated, so the multibillionaire.
