The Boss of Tesla & SpaceX, Mr Elon Musk has now officially been declared as the richest man in the world.
The net worth of Elon Musk currently is around $185billion (£136billion), which is more than the net worth of CEO of Amazon, Jeff Bezos – which is currently around $184billion (£135billion).
This feat makes Elon Musk the richest person on the planet.
