Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, continues to be the world’s richest person, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. On March 2, 2025, his net worth stood at $351 billion (about Rs 30.70 lakh crore). However, he has lost a staggering $81 billion (over Rs 7 lakh crore) in just two months.

How Does Musk Stay on Top?

The biggest part of Musk’s wealth comes from his 42% stake in SpaceX, which was valued at nearly $350 billion in December 2024. His share in the company is worth $136 billion.

His second-largest source of wealth is Tesla, the world’s most valuable carmaker. Musk owns 13% of Tesla, which had a market value of $942.37 billion as of February 28, 2025. This means his Tesla shares contribute around $120 billion to his total fortune.

Musk also owns 79% of X Corp (formerly Twitter), but its value has dropped about 69% since he bought it for $44 billion in 2022. His stake in X Corp is now worth only $8.06 billion.

Additionally, Musk has investments in other companies like xAI ($22.6 billion), The Boring Company ($3.33 billion), and Neuralink ($2.07 billion).

Who Comes Next?

Despite his losses, Musk remains the richest person in the world. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is second on the list with a net worth of $236 billion, while Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is third with $232 billion.

Musk has previously stated that he does not take a salary for his work at the US government's Department of Government Spending (DOGE). His total liabilities amount to $23.2 billion, but his diverse investments ensure he remains at the top of the billionaire rankings.
