The ranking of the richest men in the world changes: and in the challenge between Jeff Bezos (Amazon), Bill Gates (Microsoft), Warren Buffet (Birkshare Hathaway) to conquer and keep the scepter of the Scrooge McDuck is universal Elon Musk to have the largest assets. An overtaking that is incredible because the leap forward of the patron of Tesla took place in just one year, 2020, during which he earned a sensational amount. And it also has the flavor of a revenge against those who had somewhat snubbed his futuristic (when it was launched) electric car project, strengthened today with trips to the moon for commercial purposes with Space X.
Il heritage of Elon Musk it was recalculated by CNBC, the American financial television network, in light of Tesla's new stock market record on Thursday. And so if at the beginning of 2020 Elon Musk's assets were calculated at 27 billion dollars - just enough to barely enter the ranking of the 50 richest people in the world - at the closing of the Stock Exchange on Thursday 7 January 2021 Elon's assets Musk was up over $185 billion. A climb that surprised even the person concerned:
The price of the Tesla shares is at the origin of the leap forward and is still growing in the after hours of the Nasdaq Amazon shares stopped on fear of more restrictive regulations with the Biden administration, leaving the assets of Jeff Bezos - steadily around 184 billion since 2017 – at 184,7 billion on Thursday. A slowdown that earned him the loss of first place overall in the ranking of the richest men in the world that he had held so far. Musk had passed Warren Buffett into seventh place in July and in November he had snatched second place from Bill Gates. Then the final leap with Tesla over 760 billion capitalization.
After the release of CNBC, the Bloomberg Billionaires Index and Forbes Real Time Billionaires they recalculated, but finished second this time.
