According to the Daily Star, an increase in Tesla’s share price on Thursday (January 7) pushed Elon Musk’s net worth above Jeff Bezos.
Bezos has been known as the world’s richest person since 2017. However, at this current point in time, he is only just within the Top 50 wealthiest people in the world.
During this period, it is understood that Tesla’s share price has increased drastically, adding more than $150 billion (around £110 billion) to his net worth.
Elon Musk’s net worth of three-quarters is comprised of Tesla shares.
