leveraged he is. All we really have to go on is what he reports to sources. Secondly, only two outlets -- Forbes and Bloomberg -- keep some track of who is "THE wealthiest". Even Trump fooled them as his properties weren't actually worth what he said they were and his CFO went to prison for dishonesty.

Reporting sources don't know who has not reported their earnings. Even Musk has said that Putin is probably richer than he is. But nobody knows how wealthy Putin is. For that matter, there may be oligarchs in Russia who are more wealthy than Musk. They just don't report it.

Continue to contend that nobody knows who the "richest man in the world" is. And wish the media would cease labeling Musk as "the richest person," as though that is some decisive declaration of who is the smartest or wisest human in whom we should invest our trust.

Wealth has nothing to do with honesty or decency. It shouldn't be the measure of our worth.
