This is the first time an individual has exceeded Bezos&#8217; wealth since October 2017. Both have been direct competitors: Musk, with SpaceX; and Bezos, Blue Origin LLC. Musk experienced significant financial success in 2020 when Tesla became the world&#8217;s most profitable automaker, as stock prices rose 743 percent. While Bezos also experienced phenomenal success in Amazon profits last year, due to increased online shopping caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, it also lost a lot of wealth. His divorce from his wife, MacKenzie Scott, cost him approximately one-quarter of his stake in Amazon, in addition to donations, such as when he gave away $680 million in efforts to help fight the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>For his part, Musk shows no signs of slowing down, with continued production of innovative <strong>Tesla<\/strong> and <strong>SpaceX<\/strong> vehicles continuing to complete historic space missions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Elon Musk se ha convertido en la persona m\u00e1s rica del mundo.
