Elon Musk’s reign as the world’s wealthiest human lasted just five days.
The Tesla CEO is back in the #2 spot behind Jeff Bezos after Tesla’s stock price tumbled by nearly 8% on Monday – reducing Musk’s personal worth by about $14 billion.

Not that Musk is going to have trouble paying rent this month – he’s still worth an estimated $182.1 billion, about $6 billion behind Bezos.
