Because you know 2020 has shown us that billionaires are only getting richer while the commoner isn’t. According to Bloomberg ‘s Billionaire Index, Tesla founder Elon Musk is now worth upwards of $127B. That figure makes him the 2nd richest man on earth behind just Jeff Bezos who founded Amazon.
The figure also puts him past Bill Gates, however, Bill Gates would have retained his spot had he not donated humungous chunks of his fortune to charity.
