Elon Musk, Tesla’s CEO, was pushed out of the world’s richest man in just four days, Forbes said on the 11th (local time).
According to Forbes’ ranking of billionaires, as Tesla shares fell 7.82% that day, Musk’s fortune fell by $13.5 billion to $172 billion.
As a result, Musk, who became the richest man in the world for the first time on the 8th by Forbes’ count, remained at the top for only three days and came down to second place.
Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos regained the top spot with a fortune of $1821 billion.
Amazon’s share price also fell, but the decline was relatively small at 2.15%, as Bezos’ property decline was only $3.6 billion.
Forbes explained that Musk seemed to have exercised several billion-dollar stock options (stock options) several times in 2020, but it was not included in the asset count because no official announcement was made.
Musk owns a 20% stake in Tesla, and unrealized book profits through stock options are reported to reach $42 billion.
Musk’s fortune was $24.6 billion in March of last year, but Tesla’s stock rose to a high speed thanks to the surge.
