Elon Musk overtakes Jeff Bezos to become world’s richest person

CNN  

New York CNN Business — Elon Musk edged past Amazon founder Jeff Bezos to grab the title of world’s richest person, according to Bloomberg. A 6% rise in Tesla shares early Thursday lifted the value of its CEO’s stock holdings and options by $10 billion, taking his net worth to about $191 billion. Another gain in Tesla shares Wednesday lifted Musk’s net worth by $4.1 billion to $165.4 billion, according to Forbes’ calculations. Musk caught Gates for the title of the world’s second-richest person in late November, but Tesla shares have increased in value by 45% since then, lifting Musk’s net worth by $53 billion over the past couple months.
