Tesla and SpaceX CEO, Elon Musk is not only currently the richest person in the world, but is now worth as much as fellow billionaires Bill Gates and Warren Buffett combined, Bloomberg reports.
The 50-year-old’s net worth is $230 billion as of Friday morning, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. Gates sits in fourth place with $130 billion and Buffett is now number 10 with $102 billion.
Reports say if Gates and Buffett had not been as philanthropic as they are, they both would have been significantly closer to Musk in the wealth rankings.
Both have given away tens of billions of dollars to charity over the years, while Musk has been criticized for not giving away more of his massive fortune.
But Musk has previously said he prefers to remain anonymous when giving away money, and earlier this year he asked Twitter users for “critical feedback” on ways he can donate.
