The latest ranking of the wealthiest businessmen has been released, and unsurprisingly—who is the richest person in the world? Of course, Elon Musk. The guy holds the top spot with a net worth of $638 billion, and no one is close. It's interesting to see the difference: while Musk is at the top, even Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg is far behind—only $229 billion and sixth place in the ranking.

According to World of Statistics, the person who is the wealthiest in the world after Musk is actually a group of people, significantly behind. Bill Gates, co-founder of Microsoft, ranks 16th with $117 billion. And Indian businessman Mukesh Ambani is in 18th place. When you see these numbers, you realize the scale—differences in wealth are simply enormous. Musk is clearly in a different league than the rest. Overall, it's interesting to wonder how long he will stay at the top.
