Elon Musk’s week is off to a great start.
Tesla’s stock soared on Monday after Hertz announced plans to buy 100,000 electric vehicles (mainly Model 3 sedans) for its rental car fleet, pushing up Musk’s fortune by $25.6 billion since Friday’s market close. His net worth, as of the market close on Monday, climbed to a whopping $255.2 billion, Forbes estimates—making him the richest he’s ever been, and likely the richest person to ever walk the planet. He’s wealthier than any billionaire Forbes has ever tracked: Musk is worth more than Google cofounder Larry Page (No. 6 richest) and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg (No. 7 richest) combined.
