Jeff Bezos Surpasses Elon Musk to Become Second Wealthiest Person:
Amazon founder and chairman Jeff Bezos, with an estimated net worth of $199.6 billion, has reclaimed the title of the second-wealthiest individual globally, overtaking Tesla CEO Elon Musk. This switch occurs after Musk’s recent surge in wealth, which temporarily pushed him ahead of Bezos. However, Bezos regained his position on Thursday as Musk’s fortune dipped slightly.
Back and Forth Battle between Bezos and Musk:
- Bezos’ estimated net worth increased by $2.5 billion on Thursday, placing him ahead of Musk, whose wealth fell by $276 million.
- LVMH’s Bernard Arnault holds the title of the world’s wealthiest person, with an estimated net worth of $206.9 billion.
- Bezos and Musk have been swapping positions as the second-wealthiest person for several months, with at least 13 switches occurring in March alone.
Wealth Fluctuations for Bezos and Musk:
Earlier in the year, Bezos experienced a surge in wealth, leading to his current position. Meanwhile, Musk’s wealth has been more volatile, with Tesla facing challenges such as employee layoffs, contributing to fluctuations in his fortune.
