- Forbes Jan 2021: After a brief stint as the wealthiest person on the planet, Tesla billionaire Elon Musk is again the second-richest person in the world after his fortune fell by nearly $14 billion in one day. Shares of his electric-vehicle maker, Tesla, fell by nearly 8% on Monday, pushing Musk’s net worth down by $13.5 billion, to $176.2 billion. After briefly overtaking Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos as the world’s richest person last Friday, Musk has again fallen to second spot, according to Forbes’ estimates. He is now about $6 billion behind Bezos, who has a net worth of $182.1 billion.
- Bloomberg Jan 2021: Including Thursday's gains in Tesla shares, Musk, 49, had a net worth of more than $188.5 billion, $1.5 billion more than Bezos.
- The Guardian Oct 2020: Elon Musk, the maverick founder of electric car company Tesla, has made the most money so far this year with his fortune increasing to $103bn.
- BusinessInsider Mar 2020: Musk has a $39.5 billion fortune, despite never having taken a paycheck from Tesla. The CEO refuses his $56,000 minimum salary every year. In January 2018, Tesla announced it would pay Musk nothing for the next 10 years — no salary, bonuses, or stock — until the company reaches a $100 billion market cap. If and when that happens, Musk could potentially overtake Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos as the richest person in the world.
