Elon Musk vastly outranks all other 'superbillionaires' in new report on richest people
Elon Musk was again ranked the world's richest person in a new report released Tuesday, which estimated the Tesla and SpaceX CEO's net worth at $419.4 billion.
The new "superbillionaire" report, first published by the Wall Street Journal via researcher Altrata, showed Musk vastly outpacing the likes of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, LVMH CEO Bernard Arnault and Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison.
Musk, who has ownership stakes in Tesla, SpaceX and social media platform X, has also served key roles with PayPal, Neuralink, and more.
Coming in second, Bezos' net worth was valued at just over $263.8 billion, and in third was Arnault at $238.9 billion.
Each of the 24 people ranked in the list has "direct personal residential real-estate holdings of at least $100 million, and often far more," Altrata posted on X.

Methodology of determining richest people
To come up with net worth valuations for individuals, Altrata said it uses a "unique and proprietary" Wealth-X Database which provides insights into people's financial profile, career history, known associates and more.
"Our proprietary valuation model (as defined by net worth) assesses all asset holdings, including privately and publicly held businesses and investable assets," the company said.
