The Billionaires

 


The total wealth of the world’s billionaires have dipped from a record high last year due to  drop in global stock markets since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine,  but the planet’s richest people still holding a combined $12.7tn (£9.7tn) in assets.

Elon Musk, the boss of Tesla and SpaceX, was named the world’s richest man for the first time with a $219bn fortune, up $68bn on the previous year because of the carmaker’s climbing share price. Musk leapfrogged Amazon’s Jeff Bezos.
