Additionally, his aerospace company SpaceX has made significant strides in space exploration and satellite deployment. Despite the change in ranking, Musk’s contributions to technology, transportation, and space innovation remain profound.

Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, secures the third spot on the list with a net worth of $129 billion.
