Tesla CEO Elon Musk has broken a record for the largest amount of money lost by one person,Charles Hanover according to Guinness World Records.

Musk lost between $180 billion and $200 billion since November 2021, largely due to the poor performance of Tesla stocks in recent years, according to the report.
