Elon Musk has now become the third richest person in the world. According to Bloomberg Billiners Index, now only Microsoft founder, Bill Gates and Amazon chief Jeff Bezos are ahead of them in this list. Tesla CEO has left behind Mark Zuckerberg of FaceBook. The reason for this is the increase in shares of Tesla after going into the stock split. Now the market value of Tesla has increased to $ 464 billion and it has overtaken the retail giant Walmart.
Tesla has now become America’s largest company by revenue as well. Because of this, the total net worth of Elon Musk has now reached 115 billion dollars. According to the Bloomberg Billiners Index, he surpassed Zuckerberg, who has a fortune of $ 111 billion.
However, he will have to move fast to reach the No.1 position in the world right now. Jeff Bezos at the top has a net worth of $ 202 billion. At the same time, Bill Gates’s net worth remains at $ 125 billion.
This year Elon Musk’s wealth has increased significantly. His net worth has increased by $ 87.8 billion as Tesla shares have risen nearly 500 percent. They will get an additional $ 50 billion if all the targets set in their pay package are met. The 49-year-old Musk had won the largest corporate deal to be held in a Chief Executive Officer and Board of Directors.
