Musk's wealth crosses $400 billion
Hurun's research report says, Musk has retained his position as the world's richest person for the fourth time in the last five years. With this, he is the first person whose wealth has crossed the $400 billion mark.
However, the report also mentions that Musk's wealth has declined by about $100 billion since january 15, 2025.
