Elon Musk has regained his title as the richest person in the world, according to a Bloomberg tally.
Tesla’s CEO was ousted last December by Bernard Arnault, CEO of French luxury brand LVMH, leaving Musk at number two on the list for more than two months. But as of Monday, Bloomberg reports that Musk has returned to the top of the real-time Billionaires Index due to a rise in Tesla shares.
According to Bloomberg, Musk’s net worth was about $187.1 billion as of Monday, surpassing Arnault’s net worth of $185.3 billion.
Tesla’s shares plunged last year amid Musk’s troubled acquisition of Twitter and the overall tech market downturn, but the electric-car maker’s shares will surge in 2023.

Musk became the first person to lose $200 billion at the end of last year after his net worth dropped from about $340 billion in November 2021 to $137 billion in December 2022. became. \
