| Tesla Boss - Musk |
American Business Magnate - Elon Musk has regained his spot as the world’s richest person after briefly losing it to the French tycoon behind luxury-goods powerhouse LVMH, Bernard Arnault.
The CEO of the French luxury brand, Louis Vuitton, dethroned the Tesla boss, pushing him to the number two spot for more than two months.
According to Bloomberg, a surge in Tesla stock has catapulted Musk back to the top of the Billionaires Index, making him the richest Man on the planet Earth.
As of Monday, February 28, after the markets closed, Musk's net worth was approximately $187.1 billion, surpassing Arnault's $185.3 billion fortune.
The Tesla Boss' wealth was boosted nearly 70% surge in Tesla Inc.’s stock price this year, about 100% from its intraday low on January 6 as investors pile back into bets on riskier growth stocks amid signs of economic strength and a slower pace of Federal Reserve interest-rate increases.
