Elon Musk broke the Guinness World Records for losing the most money in history

The Tesla and Twitter CEO lost so much of his fortune in the last year that Guinness World Records recognized him the person with the “largest loss of personal fortune in history.

Musk now owns more than 424 million Telsa’s shares and owns 42% of SpaceX. His net worth estimate as of January 9, 2023, is $144.4 billion. It means that Musk has been erased roughly $162 billion from his peak net worth of 306.4 billion in November 2021 according to Forbes’ estimate. His net worth’s sharp decline was mostly caused by Telsa’s shares which had free fall last year, dropping more than 60% in .

Before Musk, Masayoshi Son, the founder and CEO of Softbank, set the previous record for the largest personal wealth wipeout, which was far smaller at $58.6 billion.

However Elon Musk wasn’t the only person, though, whose fortune plummeted by an astoundingly large quantity. The top leaders of Amazon, Meta and Google stand right behind him in the Forbes list of the “biggest losers” in .
