New Delhi: Elon Musk, CEO of electric car manufacturing company Tesla, is currently the richest man in the world. According to Bloomberg Billionaire Networth, his net worth is $215 billion. He has been sitting on the chair of the world’s number one rich man for a long time. But this year his net worth has declined by $ 14.3 billion, while the net worth of Jeff Bezos, sitting on the number two chair, has increased by $ 22.5 billion. His net worth has reached 199 billion dollars. There is now a difference of only $16 billion in the net worth of Musk and Bezos. Do you know who holds the record for staying on the number one position for the longest time? If we look at the data after the year 1900, this record is in the name of two people. America’s John D. Rockefeller and his compatriot K. Paul Getty was the world’s richest person for 30 years. Rockefeller, founder of Standard Oil Company, is considered the world’s first billionaire. He became a billionaire in the year 1916, but before that in the year 1910, he had become the richest person in the world and remained in this position till 1939. Before him, America’s Andrew Carnegie was the world’s richest person from 1900 to 1909. He was ousted by Henry Ford in 1940. Ford remained the world’s richest man until 1949, but Getty overtook him in 1950. Getty remained the world’s richest man until 1979. In 1980, Japan’s Yoshiaki Tsutsumi deposed him. Tsutsumi remained the world’s richest man until the 1990s.

In 1991, Sam Walton of the Walton family overtook Tsutsumi and grabbed the position of the world’s number one rich man. Walton remained the richest man in the world until 1996. In 1997, Microsoft founder Bill Gates achieved the title of the world’s richest man for the first time and till 2007 no one could shake him. In 2008, America’s legendary investor Warren Buffet overtook him. But the next year Gates took the lead again. From 2010 to 2013, Mexico’s Carlos Slim was the world’s richest man.
