Bernard Arnault has surpassed Elon Musk to number one spot on Forbes World Billionaires List

It seems it is all about billionaires and royalty on PeopleWorld today. Bernard Arnault rightly claims top spot on our hot list today as he has taken over from Elon Musk on Forbes’ annual billionaire list. Bernard’s wealth has grown an incredible $50billion to $211 billion.

This is an incredible feat as this is not only the first time Bernard Arnault’s fortune has soared past the $200 billion mark, but along with Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, he is according to Bloomberg, the only billionaire to have reached this milestone. 

From billionaires to royalty….

Camilla, Queen Consort, or as from May 6, The Queen, is next up on our hot list. She and King Charles have released a new portrait to mark one month until the coronation on 6 May. The coronation invitation has also been revealed, which shows that her title on ‘Consort’ has been dropped as she will be known as Queen Camilla.

Last up on our hot list is Lewis Capaldi. He joked that he is in ‘talks’ with Kim Kardashian over a new SKIMS deal and took to his Instagram to pretend he was receiving a FaceTime Audio call with Kim to discuss this ‘so called deal.’ If only it was true!

From our hots to our not so hots…

From one billionaire to another….

First up is Elon Musk. Yes Elon Musk is most certainly a ‘not' as he is no longer at the top of Forbes’ annual ‘World’s Billionaires List'. His wealth has gone down by $39 billion compared to the previous year. However before you start feeling too sorry for him (and I am sure this is not the case), his wealth still stands at $180 billion.

Next up is Kanye West. He is certainly not going to be a ‘happy man’ this Wednesday as he hasn’t even made it to the Forbes’ World’s Billionaires ranking in 2023. According to Forbes, “the superstar rapper no longer has a place on the Forbes Billionaires’ list now that his lucrative deal with Adidas is over.”

From Kanye West to Harry Styles…

Yes you did read that correctly, Harry Styles is on PeopleWorld’s ‘not so hot’ list today, a very rare occurrence. Here at PeopleWorld headquarters, we think that Harry might have made a mistake when it comes to turning down the role of Prince Eric in the Little Mermaid movie. He instead decided to focus on ‘Don't Worry Darling’ - not only did he get criticised for his acting skills, but the film attracted bad reviews too.
