Read our privacy policy Elon Musk’s estimated net worth has surged to more than $304bn, cementing his place at the top of the league of richest people in the world. Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, whom Mr Musk superseded is the world’s richest man in January 2021, is now in third place with a net worth of just under $200bn, a little behind Mr Arnault. In October when Mr Bezos was still the second richest person in the world, Mr Musk tweeted a silver second-place medal emoji at him in response to a post in which the Amazon founder recalled the company’s early struggles to convince people it would be a success. Today, Amazon is one of the world’s most successful companies and has revolutionized two entirely different industries.” Mr Musk’s fortune is now so great that it is approximately the combined total of Mr Bezos’ fortune plus one of several of the other mainstays of the top 10 richest men in the world: Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg ; Google’s Sergey Brin ; or legendary investor Warren Buffet Filling out the top ten are Microsoft’s Bill Gates ; software magnate Larry Ellison ; Google’s Larry Page ; and Microsoft’s Steve Ballmer.
