After shares of Arnault’s company fell more than 2 percent in the most recent trade, Tesla CEO Musk regained the top spot on the list of wealthiest individuals.
Musk’s increasing fortune can be partially attributed to the recent surge in Tesla stock prices. In 2023, they have increased 89 percent so far, according to data.
Musk and Arnault have been tied for first place on the list of the wealthiest individuals. Bernard Arnault reportedly surpassed the Tesla CEO in December 2022, after being in second place for more than two months. Musk reclaimed his title at the end of February.
