FX168 Financial News (North America), Tesla, Inc.CEO Elon Musk (Elon Musk) is at the top of the list of billionaires in the world. The chief executive of Tesla, Inc. and SpaceX is not only the richest man in the world, but is now worth as much as billionaires Bill Gates and Warren Buffett combined.
As of Friday morning, the 50-year-old had a net worth of $230 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. Gates ranked fourth with $130 billion and Buffett ranked 10th with $102 billion. Gates and Buffett were once the richest people in the world.

In January this year, Musk surpassed Amazon.Com Inc for the first time with a net worth of US $185 billion.CEO Jeff Bezos has become the richest man in the world. Bezos has maintained the title since 2017.
The smug Musk did not forget to tease Bezos, and the two were on Twitter.The war of words attracted many onlookers. Bezos po on Twitter on Monday, quoting a negative Amazon.Com Inc article from Barron Weekly more than 20 years ago, with the caption: "keep an open mind and listen well, but don't let others tell you who you are." This is one of many people who told us that Amazon.Com Inc would fail. But today, Amazon.Com Inc has become one of the most successful companies in the world and has subverted two completely different industries. " Musk replied to Bezos's tweet, but without writing a word, gave Bezos a silver medal.
Of course, were it not for their charitable donations, Gates and Buffett would have been closer to Musk in the wealth rankings. Over the years, Gates and Buffett have donated tens of billions of dollars to charity, while Musk has been criticized for not donating more wealth.
Musk has previously said he prefers to remain anonymous when donating, and asked Twitter earlier this year.The user provides "important feedback" on the way he donates. This year, Musk also pledged $150 million, including a $100m prize in the carbon cleanup competition, which is estimated to be more than all his previous charitable donations.
