When we talk about the world’s biggest fortunes, a few names come to mind. We think in particular of Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, Mark Zuckerberg, boss of Meta or even Bernard Arnault, head of the LVMH group. If these men all have professional assets of several hundred billion dollars, they remain well ahead of the one who officially became the richest man in historywe want to talk about Elon Musk.
According to the economic and financial magazine Bloomberg, the economic capital of the boss of Tesla and SpaceX reached a record of
$348 billion. “Do you already know what a million is, Larmina?”, asks Jean Dujardin to Bérénice Bejo in the first part of OSS 117. Thinking of this line, one can only feel dizzy when trying to visualize Elon Musk’s fortune.
Elon Musk: his fortune swollen by Donald Trump’s victory?
Still according to Bloomberg, the increase in the entrepreneur’s fortune is linked to the rise in Tesla shares and the very high valuation of his artificial intelligence company, xAI. Two phenomena closely linked, according to the magazine, to the victory of Donald Trump and the complicity displayed between the two men.
The media recalls that since Donald Trump’s victory on November 6, Tesla’s share price has increased by 40%. As a reminder, Elon Musk’s fortune had already increased by some $119 billion during the year, and should
continue its growth. Discussions regarding new funding from SpaceX speculate a potential valuation of $250 billion, which would bring Elon Musk’s capital to an additional $18 billion.
