- Elon Musk is once again the world's richest person. Musk lost the title of the world’s richest person to LVMH CEO Bernard Arnault in 2022. After briefly regaining the title in February 2023, Musk has been the second-richest person in the world since March. As the month of May comes to a close, Musk is back on top and now has a narrow lead over Arnault. Shares of LVMH were down 3% on Wednesday, which provided the lift needed for Musk to jump back atop the leaderboard. As of Wednesday, Musk had a wealth of $192.3 billion. Ranking closely behind Musk was Arnault at $186.6 billion. . . #elonmusk #bernardarnault #lvmh #tesla #business #worldrichest #ceo
