Elon Musk took 54 years to acquire his first trillion dollars. Just two stock meetings later, it has already traveled almost a third of the way to the next.
According to Bloomberg's Billion Index, his fortune rose on Tuesday in $1.32 trillion. This is an increase of almost 90% compared to the $696 billion that amounted to its net worth last Wednesday, the day before SpaceX invoiced its public registration to $135 billion per share.
SpaceX shares jumped for a third straight day on Tuesday, overtaking Amazon in value to become the fifth-largest stock in the world. https://t.co/3dssMqQbbC

Record of enrichment
The 620 billion dollar increase recorded by Musk in just four sessions is the largest ever recorded by Bloomberg's wealth index.
This amount exceeds the total fortunes of all the billionaires of Latin America and the Middle East together, while it is about six times greater than Bill Gates' total fortune. At the same time, it slightly exceeds Norway's GDP.
Almost the entire rise of Musk's estate came from the percentage he owns in SpaceX, the space technology and artificial intelligence company that made the largest public record in history last week.
SpaceX now represents almost three quarters of Musk's total property. Since its entry into the stock exchange, its share has been reinforced by almost 50%, even surpassing Amazon in stock value.
