Elon Musk lost more than half a trillion dollars in over a month. However, Musk, who runs a rocket company among other ventures, remains the wealthiest person with a lead so large that it borders on absurd.
Musk's net worth stood at $715.6 billion on Tuesday, according to Forbes. Note that his wealth stood at $1.45 trillion on 16 June, implying that he lost over $734 billion in 43 days or around $17.06 billion a day.
