Tesla and SpaceX founder and CEO Elon Musk is once again the richest person in the world, overtaking again Amazon founder and Blue Origin CEO Jeff Bezos. The entrepreneur hopes it will be enough to "extend life to Mars."

According to Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Elon Musk's wealth is now valued at $236 billion, going considerably beyond Bezos' estimated wealth of $196 billion.

The 'jump' in Musk's wealth is mostly due to the increase in value of Tesla's stock, a value that Elon Musk said on Twitter that he hoped would be "enough to extend life to Mars."
