After Jeff Bezos, Musk was the second individual with a personal fortune of more than $200 billion. It’s interesting to note that by January 2021, Musk had overtaken all other billionaires. His declining fortune was a result of Tesla’s share price drop.
A report by Bloomberg suggested that Musk’s overall shares reached its all-time high in November 2021, at $340 billion. However, he has not made any progress since then.
Musk was at the top of the Bloomberg Billionaires Index with $338 billion net worth. However, he has now been overtaken by LVMH CEO Bernard Arnault.
Ever since Musk acquired control of Twitter, its future has been uncertain. In addition to getting rid of the company’s top leaders, he also fired half of its workers.
