Jeff Bezos reclaimed the title of the world’s richest person pushing Tesla boss Elon Musk to the second position on the Bloomberg Billionaire Index.
Musk displaced Bezos from the pole position last month after the latter held the position for three years.
Tesla shares slipped 2.4% on Tuesday bringing making its chief executive officer poorer by $4.6 billion and pushing him to the second position on the index.
With a fortune of $191.2 billion, Amazon founder is back at the top of the rich list after being pushed to the second spot for six weeks in January 2021 owing to a continued rally in Tesla stocks. Due to the recent movement in stock prices of Amazon and Tesla, Bezos is now $995 million richer than Musk.
