Washington: Elon Musk, the 49-year-old entrepreneur has enlisted himself as one of the fastest-growing businessmen among the world’s top 500 richest people, by adding more than $100 billion to his net worth since January 2020. The sudden stock-rise of Tesla accounted for his highest single-day gain. On Monday, the stock rose nearly 6.58 percent, lifting the value of his net worth to a record close of $521.85.
His year started with the 35th rank on the Bloomberg Billionaire Index. According to the Bloomberg report, about three-quarters of Musk’s net worth consists of Tesla’s share, which values more than 4 times as much as his stake in SpaceX (Space Exploration Technologies Corp.).
