Elon Musk’s personal fortune jumped by US$36.2bil (RM149.34bil) on Oct 25 after Hertz Global Holdings Inc placed an order for 100,000 Teslas and filings showed a fresh tranche of options in his moonshot pay package vested.
It’s the biggest one-day gain in the history of the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, eclipsing Chinese tycoon Zhong Shanshan’s US$32bil (RM132.75bil) surge last year when his bottled-water company, Nongfu Spring Co, went public.
