[뉴욕=이데일리 김정남 특파원] Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, an American electric car company, has become the world’s largest. Last year, stock prices surged, overtaking Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos.
Bloomberg News said on the 7th (local time), “Currently, Musk CEO’s net worth is 188.5 billion dollars (205 trillion won), surpassing Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos by a difference of 1.5 billion dollars, and is ranked first.” According to CNBC statistics, Musk’s net worth was $185 billion, beating Bezos ($184 billion). Bezos has never lost its position since becoming the world’s largest wealthy man in October 2017. In three years and three months, the status of the richest man has changed.
Musk’s assets soared because stock prices skyrocketed. Last year, Tesla’s share price rose 743%. The same goes for the New Year. On this day, it continued to rise close to 6% and soared to $811.61 at one time during the day. Musk holds a 20% stake in Tesla. “Musk’s fortune grew at the fastest pace in history,” Bloomberg said.
