Tesla boss, Elon Musk becomes world’s richest person ahead of Jeff Bezos
Elon Musk of Tesla has finally become the richest man on the planet, displacing Amazon Boss Jeff Bezos.
A 4.8% share price increase of Tesla Inc on Thursday, January 7 secured Elon’s first place among the world’s 500 richest people, Bloomberg reports.
As of 10:15 am, the co-owner of the electronic car company was worth $188.5 billion (N71,856,200,000,000.02) as he made a gain of $1.5 billion (N571,800,000,000) over the Amazon chief.
It was gathered that Tesla’s stock price jumped 4.9% on Wednesday, January 6, making it possible for Musk to trail Bezos by $3 billion (N1,143,600,000).
Amazon’s Bezos has held the position of world’s richest man since October 2017. Elon Musk has always been his strong competitor in the private space business. Over several months, Musk has had his net worth grow by $150 billion.
One of the things that also contributed to that was how Tesla stock price rose by 743% in 2020, a year that marked a streak of continuous profit for him.
