Elon Musk remains at No. 1 as world’s richest person

Elon Musk continues to top the list of top 10 richest people in the world, Forbes writes.

However, gyrating tech stocks rearranged the ranking of more than half of the world’s ten richest people.

As a result, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg became the world’s fourth richest person again. American businessman Warren Buffett moved ahead of Google cofounder Larry Page, and Bill Gates overtook both of the Google cofounders to become the world’s seventh richest person.

Elon Musk maintained his spot as the world’s richest person, worth an estimated $243.7 billion, $3 billion more than a month ago․

The biggest gainer in the past month was Zuckerberg. His fortune rose by nearly $14 billion to an estimated $180.5 billion as Meta Platforms’ shares climbed 9% during August.

The biggest loser in the past month was Amazon chairman Jeff Bezos. His fortune fell by $7.8 billion to $197 billion due to a drop in Amazon shares. Despite the decline, Bezos held onto his rank as No. 2 richest.
