The world's richest man, Elon Musk, has seen his wealth pass a new milestone: he is officially halfway to becoming the first-ever trillionaire.
Shares in Tesla, Musk's EV company, gained nearly 4% as of 15.30 ET, which is 21.30 in Central Europe. That added an estimated $9.3 billion (€7.9bn) to his fortune, according to Forbes' Real-Time Billionaires tracker.
