In the midst of the Twitter chaos, Elon Musk has seen himself surpassed in the ranking of the richest men in the world. However, it didn’t take long for the entrepreneur to regain the top spot, so it was something of a “flash at the top”.
In this regard, as reported by SlashGear And Forbesduring the day of December 7, 2022 Musk was overtaken for a short period of time by billionaire Bernard Arnault, founder, Chairman and CEO of LVMH. Reference is made to the French giant that controls a large part of the fashion and luxury markets.
It has however been a matter of a couple of hours, as Musk then returned to represent the richest man in the world. However, the French billionaire’s quick “foray” has turned the spotlight further on 73-year-old Arnauld and his luxury goods company LVMH. For the uninitiated, it is a reality behind major brands such as Christian Dior, Givenchy and Louis Vuitton.
Recall that Musk managed to overtake Bezos (currently the fourth richest man in the world with 111.7 billion dollars) in September 2021 and is now “fighting” with Arnault for the first place in the ranking of the richest men in the world. Currently Musk has a heritage that hovers around $184.9 billion, while Arnault is slightly behind at $184.7 billion. There may be other “incursions” in the short term, but we don’t know when. In any case, among the names mentioned, in third place is the Indian billionaire Gautam Adani (with 134.8 billion dollars).
It must be said that Musk’s “climb” has been impressive over the past few years, considering that as of March 2020 it was referenced at $24.6 billion. In September 2020, however, there was already talk of over 100 billion dollars, even reaching over 300 billion dollars in November 2021 thanks to Tesla shares.
