“#Jeff Bezos overtakes Elon Musk as world’s richest person<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Jeff Bezos is back on top.<\/p>\n

The outgoing Amazon CEO took back his crown as the world\u2019s richest person, bringing Tesla chief Elon Musk\u2019s reign to an end after just six weeks.<\/p>\n

The changing of the guard happ<\/a>ened even though both billionaires\u2019 fortunes shrank on Tuesday as their respective companies\u2019 stock prices slipped.<\/p>\n

Bezos, 57, saw his net worth tick down by $372 million to $191 billion thanks to a roughly 0.3 percent drop in Amazon shares, according to Bloomberg\u2019s Billionaires Index<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But a 2.4 percent tumble in Tesla\u2019s stock wiped nearly $4.6 billion off Musk\u2019s wealth, putting the 49-year-old tech tycoon in second place with a fortune of $190 billion, Bloomberg\u2019s ranking shows.<\/p>\n

Bezos reclaimed his title just about two weeks after announcing he would step down as Amazon\u2019s chief executive in the third quarter of this year. He\u2019ll still be the executive chairman of the e-commerce empire he founded 27 years ago.<\/p>\n

Bezos\u2019 11 percent stake in Amazon is valued at $174 billion, accounting for more than 90 percent of his total fortune, according to Bloomberg data. He\u2019s gradually sold shares in recent years in part to fund Blue Origin, his space-exploration firm that competes with Musk\u2019s SpaceX.<\/p>\n

Musk had ended Bezos\u2019 three-year reign as the world\u2019s richest man in early January amid a staggering rally in Tesla\u2019s stock price. Shares in the electric-car maker have climbed about 13 percent this year despite Tuesday\u2019s drop, helping add more than $20 billion to Musk\u2019s net worth along the way.<\/p>\n

Musk made his stint at the top of the rich list memorable by cementing his power to move markets with Twitter<\/a> posts. He caused surges in the prices of stocks such as Etsy and Signal Advance and drove up the price of Dogecoin, the meme-inspired cryptocurrency.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
