Elon Musk's name is not new to the world who are the founders of companies like Tesla and SpaceX and are known for their unique projects.
Such as transporting humans to Mars, connecting the human brain to a computer, digging miles of tunnels to avoid traffic jams, and much more.
But 2020 has been a good year for him, despite the Corona epidemic, especially in terms of asset growth, which for the first time has surpassed Bill Gates to become the world's, second-richest man.
According to a Bloomberg report, Elon Musk's assets increased by $7.2 billion on Monday and he managed to surpass Bill Gates.
In fact, Elon Musk's assets have increased by a staggering $100.3 billion by 2020, more than anyone has been able to earn in a single year.
In January of this year, he was ranked 35th on the list of the richest people in the world, but first, in August he came in fourth, and then in September he came in third.
The main reason for the increase in Elon Musk's assets is the rise in Tesla's share price, which has reached a market value of 500 500 billion, while SpaceX also increased his wealth by 25%.
This is the second time in the 8-year history of Bloomberg's list of billionaires that the founders of Microsoft have fallen below the top two.
Prior to that, he was in the number one position for years, as claimed by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos in 2017.
Bill Gates also has assets of $ 128 billion, but he is in third place with a decrease of a few million dollars.
Bill Gates is thought to have donated more than $27 billion to his charity since 2006.
Despite the Coronavirus epidemic, 2020 has been a tremendous year for the world's richest people, with a total increase of $1.3 trillion in assets.
The world's fourth-richest man is Bernard Arnault of France with $ 105 billion, while Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg is at number five with 102 billion.
