On September 28, Beijing time, Forbes Rich List announced the latest ranking of American rich people. The total wealth of those on the Rich List this year was US$4 trillion, but it decreased by US$500 billion from a year ago, which is 3.6 trillion yuan. This is the first time since the 2008 financial crisis, American rich people have not become richer than the previous year. Among them, the most powerful one is Tesla boss Elon Musk .
was born in 1971. Although he is 51 years old, he is at the age of preparing to retire, he is very active and often appears in various news as various identities. As Forbes said, Musk's career and personal life were chaotic.
Even so, Musk still ranked first on the list with a net worth of US$251 billion, or approximately RMB 1.81 trillion, increasing by US$60.5 billion against the trend, leading the second place Amazon founder Bezos US$4100 billion, or approximately RMB 723 billion. What does the number
mean? Industrial and Commercial Bank of China , known as the "largest bank in the universe", has a current market value of 1.55 trillion yuan, which is not as high as Musk's wealth. As the number one car in A shares, BYD , which is Tesla's "friendly business", had a net profit of about 4 billion yuan last year. In other words, with Musk's current wealth, it will take BYD 452 years to make a profit.
At present, the highest A-share market value is Kweichow Moutai , with 2.36 trillion yuan, and the second highest is Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. Theoretically, Musk can buy any A-share company except Kweichow Moutai. Of course, this is just theoretically speaking. Just like the saying once said, "You can buy the United States by selling all the houses in Tokyo." In fact, there is no way to achieve it.
In addition, the top of the list are all old acquaintances. The top ten richest people in the United States include the "old richest man" with a net worth of $106 billion, the "old man" with a net worth of $101 billion, the Oracle boss Larry Ellison , and the "stock god" Buffett , etc., and the 10th place Walmart president Jim Walton , with a net worth of $57.9 billion, about 418.5 billion yuan.
Musk's surge in net worth is inseparable from the long-term growth of Tesla's stock price. As of the close of September 27, Tesla was US$282.94, with a total market value of US$886.6 billion, or approximately RMB 6.41 trillion, ranking fourth in US stock , second only to Apple , Microsoft and Amazon. It is not only 4 times the market value of ICBC, but also more than 8 times that of BYD.
In fact, Tesla is so optimistic about by investors because it is currently the well-deserved "new energy number one". Compared with BYD, Tesla achieved revenue of 254.9 billion yuan in the first half of the year, 1.7 times that of BYD. However, after a year-on-year increase of 238%, it reached 39.6 billion yuan, 10 times that of BYD's 3.9 billion yuan, and the gap in money-making ability is huge.
