埃隆·马斯克7月财富出现大幅缩水，单月身家下降3630亿美元[1]，创下纪录。其身家现已跌至约6900亿美元[1]，降至去年12月以来的最低水平[1]，不再保持全球首富地位。这一落差相当于Google联合创始人拉里·佩奇的全部身家[1]。
马斯克身家缩水主要源于两家企业股价的下滑。其创立的SpaceX在6月上市初期表现强劲，股价较发行价最高暴涨67%[1]，使马斯克在6月12日成为全球首位万亿富豪[1]。然而形势在7月急转直下，SpaceX股价累计下跌37%[1]。同时，马斯克持有的特斯拉股份也受挫，该公司7月股价累计下跌26%[1]，其所持11%股份价值缩水430亿美元[1]。
全球富豪排名随之调整。杰夫·贝索斯凭借亚马逊7月股价上涨14%[1]、身家增长290亿美元[1]，超越谢尔盖·布林升至全球第三[1]。拉里·佩奇身家约2920亿美元排名第二[1]，贝索斯身家约2780亿美元[1]。截至8月1日，全球十大富豪身家合计2.6万亿美元，较上月减少3680亿美元[1]。十大富豪中九位为美国人，唯一的非美国富豪是法国的伯纳德·阿尔诺[1]。
Elon Musk's wealth collapsed dramatically in July following a sharp decline in SpaceX valuations, resulting in the loss of his position as the world's first trillionaire. [1] His net worth plummeted by $363 billion to approximately $690 billion, marking the lowest level since December of the previous year. [1] This decline erased his trillionaire status, which he had achieved following SpaceX's initial public offering on June 12. [1] The descent was primarily driven by SpaceX stock, which had surged as much as 67% above its initial offering price in June before falling 37% cumulatively in July. [1] Additionally, Tesla shares, in which Musk holds an 11% stake, dropped 26% during the month, diminishing the value of his holdings by $43 billion. [1]
The shift in wealth rankings reflects broader market movements among the world's richest individuals. Jeff Bezos has now surpassed Sergey Brin to claim the third position globally with a net worth of approximately $278 billion, boosted by a 14% surge in Amazon stock during July that increased his wealth by $29 billion. [1] Larry Page ranks second with a net worth of roughly $292 billion. [1] Collectively, the world's ten wealthiest individuals saw their combined net worth decrease by $368 billion to $2.6 trillion compared to the previous month. [1] Among the top ten billionaires, nine are American, with the sole non-American exception being France's Bernard Arnault. [1]
