The top of the list of the richest people in the world oscillates between Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, and Elon Musk. According to Forbes’ data, Musk, who experienced a 720% increase in Tesla shares this year, took the first place in the list again.
Reaching a fortune of $ 201.7 billion, Musk became one of the names that exceeded the $ 200 billion threshold, just like Louis Vuitton’s CEO Bernard Arnault and Jeff Bezos. Jeff Bezos took the second place on the list with his fortune of 193.1 billion dollars.
Tensions between Bezos and Musk
This rivalry between Musk and Bezos continues not only on Forbes’ list, but also in the space transportation industry. If you remember, Blue Origins filed a lawsuit against the space agency in the past months, citing that NASA passed a kind of torpedo to SpaceX. In addition, Bezos sued Musk’s company, stating that SpaceX violated the rules of the Federal Communications Commission.
Musk seems to have won the race for now, as the ropes between the two have begun to stretch more and more. Musk, who was chosen as the richest person in the world last year, but fell behind due to Tesla’s rapid depreciation, was once again named the richest person in the world.
