Elon Musk Remains in First Place After Tesla Sales Success, While Warren Buffett Drops to 10th Place for the First Time in Many Years!

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.

Fortunes Behind Fortunes

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has ceased to be a climatic phenomenon and has become a biological system that feeds on itself, with 8,000 kilometers in length, 37 million tons of algae, and scientists confirm that it is now permanent.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

China puts into operation the largest shallow lithology offshore field in the country, with 79 wells, heavy oil, and a production of 20,000 barrels per day.

Bacterial disease already affects almost half of the Brazilian citrus belt, causes losses of US$ 120 million per year, deforms green oranges, and threatens the country that dominates the global orange juice market while the US and Europe increasingly depend on Brazil.

After days at sea, imagine returning to an apartment just minutes from the most sophisticated beach in Rio, with the Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas bike path nearby and all the infrastructure of the South Zone. Leblon has become the preferred refuge for those working in the oil and gas sector.

Melting of Arctic ice has exposed shallow waters to more sunlight and accelerated a process that reduces nitrate, an essential nutrient for sustaining the marine food chain.

Dubai is building in the desert the largest airport in the world, a $35 billion structure with 400 gates and a capacity for 260 million passengers per year, and plans to retire the current one by 2035, which is currently the busiest in the world for international flights, to relocate everything.

Santa Catarina leads the largest Tax-Free Day in Brazil’s history with more than 1,350 companies, and the scene of cars lined up for gasoline at R$ 4.50 highlighted the real burden of taxes that amount to more than R$ 1.68 trillion collected just this year.
