Third place is also in danger
Not only has Musk’s crown as the number one billionaire been snatched away, now the third position is also in danger. In the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, there is a gap of only $3 billion between Mark Zuckerberg and Musk. Zuckerberg has become the highest earning person in the world.

Whereas, Gautam Adani has a net worth of $104 billion and he is at number 14 in the list of the world’s richest people.
