Elon Musk got his seat back! Here are the 5 richest people in the world

The year 2022 did not go well for Elon Musk, at least in terms of his personal wealth. Because, last year, the big dreams in Tesla shares directly affected Musk’s fortune as a shareholder. In fact, Musk was the first person to lose $100 billion for this reason. But now things seem to be on track.

Musk reclaimed his seat

Being the CEO or co-founder of 5 companies in total – Twitter, Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink, The Boring Company – Musk added 50 billion dollars to his personal wealth in a short time, with the calming effects of Twitter and the increasing Tesla shares. With this increase, Musk rose to the top of the Bloomberg billionaires list, while his closest rival, Bernard Arnault, fell to second place. However, I can say that the difference between them is quite small. At the time of writing this article, Musk’s fortune stood at $187 billion. Arnault is valued at $185 billion.

When we look at the rest of the list, we see Jeff Bezos in the third place with a fortune of 117 billion dollars and Bill Gates, who closely follows him with 114 billion dollars. However, this list also shows us that technology companies have come to a more comfortable position compared to last year. Because the fortunes of the heads of technology companies are in a serious rise. We can say that this indicates the recovery in the technology industry.
