Elon Musk has become the world's richest person, as his net worth crossed $185bn (£136bn).
The Tesla and SpaceX entrepreneur was pushed into the top slot after Tesla's share price increased on Thursday.
He takes the top spot from Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, who had held it since 2017.
Mr Musk's electric car company Tesla has surged in value this year, and hit a market value of $700bn (£516bn) for the first time on Wednesday.
That makes the car company worth more than Toyota, Volkswagen, Hyundai, GM and Ford combined.
Mr Musk reacted to the news in signature style, replying to a Twitter user sharing the news with the remark "how strange".
An older tweet pinned to the top of his feed offered further insight into his thoughts on personal wealth.
"About half my money is intended to help problems on Earth, and half to help establish a self-sustaining city on Mars to ensure continuation of life (of all species) in case Earth gets hit by a meteor like the dinosaurs or WW3 happens and we destroy ourselves," it reads.
The tycoon's fortunes have been buoyed by politics in the US, where the Democrats will have control of the US Senate in the forthcoming session.

He is a visionary.
He opened the door to the privatisation of space, which was tied into state-sponsored research and kept suffering as a result.
He is building upon the work of giants to pave the way for not just colonisation but the longer term survival of humans in the universe.
It's the big picture. Without people like him, we as a species will die because we are killing this planet and it's irreversible

What makes you think he even knows what a dirt poor person looks like?
Dude lives in the wealthiest neighbourhood in the wealthiest country of the world and only associates with wealthy people. He also travels by private jet from a private airport to get around.
The average rich american will never ever see any evidence of poverty farless the wealthiest man in the world.
You feel ppl like Elon have to pass places like Beetham/sea lots to get to and from the airport etc.
