Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk is now the world’s second richest man, after minting enough money to easily move past Microsoft founder Bill Gates.
2020 has been a monumental year for Musk, and his bank account can prove it. Throughout the year, Musk kept climbing the world’s richest list. But as of November 2020, Musk has climbed high enough to be seated right below Amazon founder Jeff Bezos at the second spot.
How Much Is Elon Musk Worth?
After a surge in Tesla shares, Elon Musk’s net worth increased by $7.2 billion, making it $128 billion.
Musk is now exactly $54 billion short of overtaking Jeff Bezos $182 billion to be the world’s richest man.
