Musk — whose 13% stake in Tesla accounts for the lion's share of his personal wealth — has seen his fortune tumble by around $41 billion since Tesla reported <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-earnings-q3-report-live-updates-guidance-analyst-call-stock-reaction-2023-10?utm_medium=ingest&amp;utm_source=markets&amp;_gl=1*1d5pksg*_ga*NDgwMjA2NjgxLjE2NjM3MjgwMjY.*_ga_E21CV80ZCZ*MTY5ODcyOTUxMC42MC4xLjE2OTg3Mjk2NTUuNjAuMC4w">disappointing third-quarter results</a> and an <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-earnings-mini-disaster-stock-price-wall-street-analyst-2023-10?amp=&amp;utm_medium=ingest&amp;utm_source=markets">earnings call</a> on October 18 that one Wall Street analyst dubbed a "mini disaster."&nbsp;His estimated net worth was $234 billion before the electric vehicle makers' latest quarterly report card.&nbsp;

Tesla's share price took a nearly <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/elon-musk-wealth-net-worth-decline-q3-tesla-earnings-miss-2023-10">10% hit</a> following the earnings and has since extended its decline. <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/stocks/tsla-stock?utm_medium=ingest&amp;utm_source=markets">Tesla shares</a> closed 4.8% lower at $197.36 on Monday, down 21% so far this month. However, the stock is up 60% so far this year.

Musk's net worth first hit $200 billion in 2021 and reached a peak of $340 billion in November of the same year. The tycoon's fortune has been volatile since then in part due to fluctuations in Tesla's stock.

Despite the slide in his net worth this time, Musk is still the world's richest person ahead of Bernard Arnault, the boss of luxury retail giant LVMH Mot Hennessy Louis Vuitton. Arnault is now worth $156 billion.

Arnault's fortune has also come under pressure from a decline in LVMH's stock price as consumer spending on luxury goods — which has been enjoying a boom since the pandemic — shows <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/luxury-recession-boom-consumer-spending-lvmh-stock-price-us-economy-2023-10">signs of ebbing.</a>

LVMH's share prices are down over 6% so far this month and are down 1.3% so far this year.
