No man in Africa has ever reached the boss of Facebook when it comes to fortune. However, in recent weeks, Elon Musk, the South African had beaten Mark Zuckerberg. Today it is a real fight between these two giants of technologies.
The two men seem destined to engage in a mano-to-mano to stay on the podium.
It is a titanic standoff between two of the richest men in the world. On the one hand, Elon Musk, the boss of Tesla and SpaceX. On the other, Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook. Between them, they accumulate $ 222 billion, according to data from the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. The question is who will take 3rd place, behind Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates.

Elon Musk has completely upset the ranking in recent months, taking the place of 4th richest man in the world on August 18, overtaking the French Bernard Arnault at the same time. A forward race that has continued in recent days when he passed Mark Zuckerberg for the first time, climbing to third place on the podium. His fortune was then 115.4 billion, against 110.8 for the boss of Facebook. If his fortune has already climbed by more than 80 billion during the past year, his recent decision to want to raise a colossal amount on the stock market through a “stock split” (to divide his shares by five) has again increased the Tesla’s share price and enriched its founder.
Mark Zuckeberg returns to the front
But, Mark Zuckerberg, boss of Facebook, Instagram or Oculus VR, does not seem decided to surrender so easily. This Wednesday, September 2, it is indeed returned to 3rd position. His fortune estimated at 112 billion by Bloomberg, against 110 billion dollars for Elon Musk. Note that the classification made by Forbes with a different method delivers a fundamentally different result. It is again the French Bernard Arnault who is in 3rd position, ahead of Warren Buffet. Mark Zuckerberg is in 7th position, while Elon Musk is in 31st position.
