This comes after Tesla shares dropped by one percent.
Musk’s net worth hit an estimated $185 billion (previously over $300 billion)—below Arnault’s $186.2 billion.
Effectively, the LVMH executive edged out his Tesla rival by just over $1 billion.
While LVMH has enjoyed relative success recently, Tesla has suffered over investor fears that Musk is preoccupied with Twitter.
Arnault has become the world’s richest person several times. Instances include December 2019, January 2020, and May and July 2021.
