MANILA — SpaceX and Tesla founder Elon Musk is once again the world's richest person according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index as of June 1.

Musk's wealth exceeded that of former richest man LVMH's Bernard Arnault.

Musk's net worth was estimated to be $192 billion, growing over $1.9 billion while Arnault's total net worth declined by $5.25 billion to $187 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.

Some $11.2 billion was wiped out from Arnault's fortune after LVMH stocks fell due to concerns that the looming US economic slowdown could affect the demand for luxury goods, Bloomberg said in another report.

Musk, meanwhile, just concluded a visit to China where Tesla has a strong presence. The eccentric billionaire also recently bought Twitter for $44 million.
