Elon Musk heads list of richest Americans, while Mark Zuckerberg falls out of top 10. Guess where Trump ended up?
Elon Musk stands atop the list of America’s wealthiest individuals, according to Forbes. But “poor” Mark Zuckerberg no longer cracks the top 10.
Musk, the 51-year-old Tesla TSLA, +2.51% executive who also wants to conquer the field of space exploration, was ranked No. 1 on the Forbes annual list of the 400 richest Americans. The publication said Musk was worth $251 billion, putting him way ahead of Amazon AMZN, -0.64% chief Jeff Bezos, who ranked second with $151 billion. Last year, Bezos claimed the top spot on the list with $201 billion and Musk came in second with $190.5 billion.
But this year’s ranking was noteworthy for one individual who didn’t make it to the top 10 — namely, Zuckerberg of Meta META, -1.44%, who fell to the 11th spot with a mere $57.7 billion. Apparently, the tough economy is leaving even the wealthiest Americans feeling slightly less wealthy. Forbes noted that the combined net worth of the top 400 totaled $4 trillion — or $500 billion less than in 2021. “The rich don’t always get richer,” Forbes said.
