Elon Musk Becomes the Richest Person in History with an Estimated Fortune of $348 Billion
Elon Musk has surpassed his previous record of $338 billion, set at the end of 2021, to become the richest person in history with an estimated fortune of $348 billion.
In just one year, Musk, founder of SpaceX and owner of the social network X since October 2022, has added nearly $130 billion to his wealth, far surpassing Jeff Bezos, Larry Ellison, Mark Zuckerberg, and Bernard Arnault. The latter's fortune has decreased to $163 billion.
Furthermore, it is expected that Elon Musk, in collaboration with Vivek Ramaswamy, will lead a subcommittee working with the newly established "Department of Government Efficiency" (DOGE).
