Elon Musk is a man whose company launches rockets and produces electric cars. By the way, he finds time for social media. According to Hurun, Elon Musk has once again earned the title of the richest man on the planet.
Musk has pumped up his fortune by an impressive 47% to $235 billion.
In this exciting race for the title of financial champion, second place went to Jeff Bezos, the Amazon tycoon, with a capital of $187 billion. However, Bernard Arnault, a French luxury maestro from Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy, took third place with his $177 billion fortune.
Zhong Shanshan was ranked the wealthiest person in China. His source of wealth is derived mainly from Nongfu Spring, a bottled water company. He owns assets worth 450 billion yuan, or about $62 billion. Notably, he took 21st place among the richest people in the world.
According to Hurun, there are now 3,279 dollar billionaires in the world. This is how many people can not only buy an island but also a personal spaceport for weekend trips to Mars. In the last year, another 167 people have joined their community. Most of them live in China (814), some prefer the US (800), and the rest have chosen India (271).
As Bloomberg reports, these top 500 richest people have recovered the $1.4 trillion they lost last year, despite inflation, high interest rates, and geopolitical unrest.
