Business mogul, Elon Musk became the second richest person in the world displacing Bill Gates off the second spot after his wealth grew recently.
Telsa boss, Elon has accumulated an impressive $127.9bn (£95.8bn) under his name making him take the title of second richest man in the world.
Amazon boss Jeff Bezos is the richest man in the world with $182bn (£136bn). Some days ago, Elon Musk was $8billion (£6bn) away from outgrowing this Microsoft co-founder’s networth. However, the percentage rise in Tesla’s shares changed everything. This gave Elon the $7.2bn boost he needed to become the second richest man, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
The top ten richest people in the world are: Jeff Bezos $182B, Elon R Musk $128B, Bill Gates $128B, Bernard Arnault $105B, Mark Zuckerberg $102B, Warren Buffett $86.8B, Larry Page $81.3B -$323M, Sergey Brin $78.7B -$310M, Steve Ballmer $76.1B, and Mukesh Ambani $74.0B.
