June was a busy month for billionaires. Elon Musk stayed at the top of the Forbes ranking, mainly due to the excellent performance of Tesla. Musk’s fortune increased by US$ 11.1 billion (R$ 61.9 billion) since June 1, totaling nearly US$ 19 billion (R$ 106 billion) in the last two months.

SpaceX, another of Musk’s companies, is about to sell shares in an offering that values the company at US$ 210 billion (R$ 1.1 trillion), an increase from US$ 180 billion (R$ 1 trillion) last December. Musk holds an estimated 42% stake in the company.
