Tesla’s 1000% – one year ago it closed at $45.12…currently near $500. And with that, Elon Musk moves into top 3 (or 4) on Bloomberg Billionaires Index. Electrons against hydrocarbons and Wall Street is voting for electrons.
Elon Musk has overtaken Mark Zuckerberg to become the third-richest person in the world, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. The Tesla founder is now worth $115.4 billion to Zuckerberg’s $110.8 billion, as shares in the electric vehicle behemoth continued their rally on Monday after undergoing a forward stock split. Musk’s net worth has grown by $87.8 billion this year as shares of Tesla, now with a $464 billion market value, soared almost 500%. Amazon’s Jeff Bezos is still the world’s richest person, worth more than $200 billion. (LinkedIn)
