In an unstoppable spree of wealth addition, SpaceX and Tesla founder and serial entrepreneur Elon Musk has become the world's fourth-richest man with a net worth of $84.8 billion, reports Economic Times.
This comes as Musk's net worth surged by a whopping $7.8 billion in a single day, driven by the 11 per cent surge in the price of Tesla's stock. With this, Musk has added staggering $57.2 billion to his fortune since the beginning of the year.
The surge in Musk's net worth this year is second only to e-commerce giant Amazon's founder Jeff Bezos' addition of $73 billion to his fortune. Bezos, however, stands much ahead at the top of the list of richest persons in the world with a net worth of $188 billion.
It should be noted that this comes just days after Reliance Industries Limited (RIL)'s chairman Mukesh Ambani had become world's fourth-richest individual. Ambani's present net worth stands at $78.8 billion. He is presently the world's sixth richest individual as per the Bloomberg's Billionaires Index.

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
