Arnault, from the top spot.
The Tesla and Twitter head surpassed the French luxury brand
billionaire after the shares of LVMH owned by Mr Arnault dropped by 2.6% in
Paris trading.
Bloomberg Billionaire Index places Elon Musk’s net worth at
$192 billion, making him the first on the list and the world’s richest man at
the moment.

billion making him the second on the list
The third position goes to Jeff Bezos of Amazon with a net
worth of $144 billion.
Elon Musk runs Tesla, America’s foremost electric car
company. He also owns Twitter, the popular micro-blogging platform, and Space
X, his space programme initiative.
Mr. Arnault owns LVMH, a French multinational holding, and
conglomerate specialising in luxury goods. LVMH is the world’s leading dealer
in luxury brands. It owns popular luxury brands like Louis Vuitton, Givenchy,
Christine Dior, Fendi, Sephora, etc.
Messrs Musk and Arnault have been locked in a race for the
number-one spot for several months.
