Tesla CEO Elon Musk has yet again cemented his position as the world's richest person, with his net worth skyrocketing to $447 billion (Rs 3.8 trillion), according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. This figure now makes Musk's wealth nearly four times that of Indian business tycoon Mukesh Ambani, Chairman of Reliance Industries, whose net worth stands at $97.1 billion.
Meanwhile, other Indian billionaire Gautam Adani follows with a net worth of $79.3 billion, but even these figures pale in comparison to Musk's financial dominance. Interestingly, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, currently the world’s second-richest person, has a net worth of $249 billion, which still falls short by a massive margin.
A Day of Historic Gains
In a historic financial leap, Musk added $63 billion to his net worth in just 24 hours, a staggering increase that even outpaces the total wealth of several billionaires globally. Bloomberg reports that the world's 23rd richest person, for instance, holds a net worth of $63.2 billion—almost the same amount Musk earned in a single day.
Key Factors Behind Musk's Wealth Surge
The surge in Musk's net worth is primarily attributed to the phenomenal rise in Tesla's share value. Following Donald Trump's victory in the US Presidential Elections, Tesla's stock price jumped by 6% overnight. On November 4th, Tesla’s share value was $242.84. By Thursday, the share price had soared to $424.77, marking an incredible 75% increase in just a few days.
This meteoric growth in Tesla’s stock has played a pivotal role in Musk’s wealth soaring past the $400 billion mark.
Fiscal Year Success
Musk's total earnings this fiscal year have reached $218 billion, a figure that, if considered alone, would make him the fourth richest person in the world. Only two other billionaires—Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg—have net worths exceeding $200 billion, with Zuckerberg standing at $224 billion.
The Donald Trump Effect
Analysts have linked Musk's recent wealth surge to Donald Trump's victory in the US elections. As confidence in the US economy and tech stocks strengthened, investors flocked to Tesla, boosting its share price significantly.
Conclusion
Elon Musk's journey to becoming the first person to achieve a $400 billion net worth underscores his influence in the tech and automotive industries. With Tesla's shares witnessing remarkable gains and Musk's ability to capitalize on market trends, his financial growth continues to set unprecedented benchmarks.
For the world’s richest person, this achievement marks another historic milestone, leaving billionaires like Jeff Bezos, Mukesh Ambani, and Gautam Adani far behind in the race for financial supremacy.
