The share price of Tesla, an electric vehicle company in the US, surged, and founder Elon Musk became the world’s richest man.
The Bloomberg News reported on the 7th that Musk’s net worth was $185 billion, surpassing Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos by $1.5 billion.
It has been three years and three months that the title of the richest man in the world has changed.
On the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Bezos has never surrendered this position in more than three years since it topped the list in October 2017.
At the beginning of last year, Musk was barely in the top 50 with a net worth of $27 billion.
But over the past year, Tesla stocks soared 743 percent and continued to surge as the year changed, according to Bloomberg, the fastest growing in history.
Bloomberg pointed out that the stock price of Tesla, which produced only 500,000 electric cars last year, is far from performance, but predicted that the Democratic Party’s administration and the Parliament will give power to the electric car era.
