Gelonghui March 11 | On March 10th local time, Forbes released the 40th annual list of the World’s Billionaires.

Elon Musk is the world’s richest person for the second consecutive year, also setting a record for the highest wealth ever recorded, with a net worth of about $839 billion (approximately 5.8 trillion RMB).
