[maintains its own list](https://www.bloomberg.com/billionaires/) of the world’s billionaires, and its calculations shows Musk with a $14 billion lead over Arnault as of Dec. But Tesla’s loss of more than 47% of its value since the outspoken entrepreneur bought Twitter has impacted his bottom line. But 2022 saw him laying out big portions of that wealth to purchase Twitter, which was (in part) a catalyst for Tesla’s volatility, which brought his number even lower. (Bloomberg does not update its numbers in real time.) Close on his heels and seemingly poised to take the bragging rights for world’s richest person in the near term is Bernard Arnault, the chief executive of Louis Vuitton’s parent company LVMH, with an estimated $185.7 billion. Whether Musk stood in first or second place was often changing moment by moment.

Elon Musk Starts And Ends Thursday As World's Second Richest ... (Forbes)

That sent Tesla stock down, enough to drop Musk below Bernard Arnault of French luxury conglomerate LVMH on Forbes' ranking of the world's wealthiest people for ...

With tech stocks having crashed since Mid-April, the company is likely now worth far less than the $44 billion Musk agreed to pay. But Musk may have renewed interest in a margin loan if the estimated $1 billion of annual interest expense on the $13 billion of debt used to finance the acquisition proves too much for an already struggling Twitter to cover. Musk’s initial financing for the takeover included a $6.3 billion personal margin loan, in addition to the $13 billion of debt he ultimately saddled Twitter with, keeping it off his own personal balance sheet. He has already sold $19.3 billion (pre-tax) worth of the company’s stock from mid-April to early November, presumably to help finance the acquisition. Arnault was worth an estimated $185.1 billion as of 9:30 a.m ET Thursday, with Musk trailing him by $1 billion, worth an estimated $184.1 billion. That sent Tesla stock down, enough to drop Musk below Bernard Arnault of French luxury conglomerate LVMH on Forbes’ ranking of the world’s wealthiest people for the third time in two days.
