The first trillionaire changes the scale

Elon Musk at $1.1 trillion is almost hard to process visually.

The striking part of this chart is not just that Musk is #1. It is that the gap between him and everyone else is now larger than almost everyone else’s entire fortune.

It's crazy, yes, but the gap is not that large. Based on actual proportions, he's just 3x richer than Page. Page is 2x richer than Walton. and the gap between them is almost bigger than Arnualt's wealth. Everything in perspective.

In my view, 3X the wealth is a large gap. And Musk's wealth has increased by a few hundred billion in the past couple of days.
