Elon Musk, the enigmatic entrepreneur and CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has officially claimed the title of the wealthiest person in history, with a net worth of $348 billion, according to Bloomberg’s Billionaires Index. This achievement places Musk ahead of Jeff Bezos, the Amazon founder, whose fortune stands at $219 billion, and Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison, who holds $206 billion. Even Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook’s CEO, doesn’t come close, with a net worth of $198 billion, securing him the fourth spot on the global wealth list.
What makes this milestone particularly remarkable is not just Musk’s rise to the top of the wealth rankings, but the sheer scale of his fortune. At $348 billion, Musk has surpassed his own previous record of $338 billion set in 2021, cementing his place as the richest person in history. This incredible wealth also puts him nearly double the net worth of Bernard Arnault, the French CEO of luxury goods conglomerate LVMH, who is currently the fifth richest person in the world, with $163 billion.
So, how did Musk get here? While his fortunes have certainly soared in recent years, a key catalyst for his wealth came with the presidency of Donald Trump. After Trump’s election, Musk’s fortune took a significant leap, boosted by the rising value of his companies, particularly Tesla, which has become one of the most valuable companies in the world.
It’s also worth noting that Musk’s wealth isn’t static—it’s volatile. The values of both Tesla and SpaceX fluctuate regularly, with stock market movements often dictating Musk’s daily rank on the wealthiest list. In fact, Musk has become known for his larger-than-life persona and his unconventional approach to business, which has only fueled public interest in his financial rise. Whether it’s his ambitious plans to send humans to Mars or his recent ventures in artificial intelligence, Musk’s name is never far from the headlines.
In the grand scheme of things, Musk’s wealth is more than just a number—it’s a testament to his disruptive approach to business and technology. His story is one of innovation, boldness, and, yes, risk. It’s a story that’s reshaping industries and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. Whether you love or loathe him, there’s no denying the impact Musk has had on the world, and now, with his place as the wealthiest person in history, he’s written a new chapter in that story.
