Elon Musk the unstoppable, who are the 10 richest people on the planet?

Elon Musk continues to top the list of the richest people in the world, while the wealth of the top 10 billionaires has reached a new record of $2.8 trillion.

Forbes has released its latest list of the 10 richest people in the world, based on their net worth as of midnight on September 1.

In total, the ten billionaires have a combined wealth of about $2.8 trillion, up from $2.6 trillion a month ago.


At the top of the list is Elon Musk, whose fortune saw a significant increase in August. SpaceX shares rose by 33%, while Tesla shares rose by 18%, adding about $202 billion to Musk's fortune in the past month alone.

This comes after a negative July for the billionaire, when his fortune fell by about $363 billion.

With a net worth of around $892 billion, Musk is already very close to the $1 trillion mark. If he continues at this pace, he could once again become the first person in history to reach that level of wealth.
