Elon Musk Reclaims Title as World's Richest Person

Elon Musk has regained his position as the wealthiest individual globally, surpassing Bernard Arnault, the head of luxury goods conglomerate LMVH. Musk's net worth has soared by $55.3 billion since January, reaching $192 billion, primarily driven by the rising value of his electric car company Tesla.

Meanwhile, Arnault's fortune has declined by $24.5 billion, standing at $187 billion, according to Bloomberg's Billionaires Index. Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, and Bill Gates, the co-founder of Microsoft, hold the third and fourth spots, respectively.
