Infinitely you can do three things: look at fire, water and count other people's money. Forbes likes the last point the most. Journalists report changes in ranking of the richest people in the world - it is now headed by Ilon Musk.

Congratulations!

 This week Ilon is not even white, but some kind of colorful streak: on Monday Tesla's market capitalization exceeded $1 trillion, adding to profit report and a big order for electric cars from Hertz. As a result the stock price went up, and along with it   and the fortune of Ilon Musk.

 As of October 26, Musk's fortune reached a record $271.3 billion, making him the top Forbes. The figure has now risen to $280.4 billion. Incidentally, this is the first time the head of Tesla has come so close to the figure of $300 billion.

Former richest man Jeff Bezos has fallen to second place. The Amazon founder's capital is now valued at $197.4, and that's a far cry from the performance of his archrival.
