Musk Reclaims Trillionaire Status as Bezos Wealth Gap Widens

Forbes says Elon Musk’s wealth rose to $1 trillion on Monday.

The increase followed rises in Tesla and SpaceX shares.

Musk had reached that wealth level before, in June, but later fell below it.

His wealth briefly reached $1.45 trillion in June, according to the article.

The Monday estimate was lower than that earlier peak.

Jeff Bezos was listed as the world’s second-richest person.

Forbes estimated Bezos had about $371 billion.

That left a gap of more than $620 billion between the two men.
