Elon Musk became the richest person in the world. According to Bloomberg, the largest Tesla shareholder is worth US$195 billion. Thus, he displaced Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos. The businessman who has been at the top of the list of the richest people on the planet for a long time, is already ten billion dollars behind the 49-year-old Elon Musk. Microsoft founder Bill Gates is ranked third with US$134 billion worth.
The ranking list, however, has no businesspeople from Kazakhstan. According to Forbes Kazakhstan, among businesspeople here, the first place in the rating of the richest people in the country is occupied by Vladimir Kim, who engages in metals and finance. His capital is estimated at more than US$4 billion. The Kulibayev family takes the second place, followed by a businessman Bulat Utemuratov with US$2.8 billion.
