Elon Musk is the wealthiest individual ever recorded, worth
an estimated $839 billion (Ksh.108.44 trillion), Forbes said Tuesday, as a record 3,428 billionaires
worldwide saw their combined fortunes surge to an all-time high of $20.1
trillion.
Musk topped the Forbes World's Billionaires list for the
second consecutive year after his fortune swelled by roughly $500 billion (Ksh.64.6 trillion) over
the past twelve months, driven by rising valuations at Tesla and SpaceX, which
is targeting a public offering in 2026.
He is the first person ever to surpass the $800 billion mark
and is on course to become the world's first trillionaire.
