Jeff Bezos has reclaimed the title of the richest person on Earth, surpassing Elon Musk, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index on Monday. The Amazon founder’s net worth was $200 billion, while Musk followed at $198 billion. Musk has lost about $31 billion over the past year, while Bezos has gained $23 billion, according to the index. Tesla shares had tumbled more than 7% on Monday.
Arnault had held the title as his wealth climbed due to a boom in luxury goods sales that helped drive up LVMH’s stock price. Earlier this year, a Delaware state court judge threw out Musk’s 2018 pay package — worth more than $50 billion — that helped to make him one of the richest people in the world. Tesla shares also tumbled about 24% year-to-date. Of course, the title of the richest person on earth swaps every few months, depending on markets performance.
