Shares of his electric-vehicle maker, Tesla, fell by nearly 8% on Monday, pushing Musk’s net worth down by $13.5 billion, to $176.2 billion.

He is now about $6 billion behind Bezos, who has a net worth of $182.1 billion.

- The Guardian Oct 2020: Elon Musk, the maverick founder of electric car company Tesla, has made the most money so far this year with his fortune increasing to $103bn.
- BusinessInsider Mar 2020: Musk has a $39.5 billion fortune, despite never having taken a paycheck from Tesla. The CEO refuses his $56,000 minimum salary every year. In January 2018, Tesla announced it would pay Musk nothing for the next 10 years — no salary, bonuses, or stock — until the company reaches a $100 billion market cap. If and when that happens, Musk could potentially overtake Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos as the richest person in the world.
