Jeff Bezos is just $8 billion away from overtaking Elon Musk to become the world's wealthiest person once more

Business Insider · 1y

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is closing in on overtaking Elon Musk as the world's wealthiest person, with just an $8 billion difference between them. Bezos has seen a rise of $20 billion in his estimated wealth, primarily due to a 13% increase in Amazon stock. In contrast, Musk's fortune has dropped by $24 billion, mostly due to a 24% decline in Tesla stock. Bezos is now just 4% behind Musk and could surpass him if Amazon continues to rise or Tesla continues to fall.
