Tesla's chief executive officer Elon Musk has now overtaken Bill Gates to become the second-richest person in the world.
Despite the coronavirus pandemic, the year 2020 has been a lucrative one for the wealthiest people in the world, who seemed to have been raking massive amounts of cash while the world was brought to a near standstill.
According to Bloomberg, Musk now has a net worth of $127.9 billion. This is largely due to the surge in Tesla's share price. The billionaire added $100.3 billion to his net worth in 2020.
