The podium of the richest men in the world has just been shaken up.
Elon Musk has just stolen third place from Mark Zuckerberg, reports

.
The boss of Tesla and Space X saw his fortune reach $ 115 billion, according to the latest
Bloomberg
ranking
.
This increase is mainly due to the sharp rise in Tesla shares, the price having climbed 12.6% in one session.
A leap that allowed Elon Musk to add 11.7 billion to his already large fortune and become the third wealthiest man on the planet.

2020 has been a good year for Elon Musk.
Since the start of the year, Tesla has seen its market capitalization climb 480% and reach more than $ 442 billion, underlines

.
As for the fortune of his boss, it has been multiplied by five, from 22 to 115 billion dollars.
The arrival of Elon Musk in this ranking destabilizes a podium consecrating the GAFAM.
Indeed, the first place is still held by Jeff Bezos, CEO of Amazon, with a fortune of more than 205 billion dollars.
Further on, in second position, we find Bill Gates, co-founder of Microsoft with $ 126 billion.
With his 111 billion dollars, Mark Zuckerberg is right behind Elon Musk.
Bernard Arnault ($ 85.8 billion) rounds out the top 5.
