Elon Musk Reclaims Spot As World's Richest Man

The race for the world’s richest man’s title just got more exciting, as Elon Musk surpassed Jeff Bezos just a few days after the Amazon founder reclaimed the spot.

The Tesla Inc. chief executive officer’s wealth rose to $199.9 billion after SpaceX, the rocket company he founded completed another funding round, making him top the spot for the second time this year.

He surpassed Amazon.com Inc.’s Jeff Bezos , who briefly reclaimed the title as the world’s richest person this week after Tesla shares fell and dragged down Musk’s net worth. Bezos is worth $194.2 billion.
