Tomorrow | Stern is this man soon a trillionair? The situation in the morning

Dear readers, dear readers,

Do you also feel that you sometimes imagine what you would do with a lottery win? Admittedly, the likelihood of gaining in the lottery is quite low, but especially when the euro jackpot is again 120 million, you start dreaming.

One who should see a lottery win than peanuts is Elon Musk. According to the “Forbes” magazine, the richest man in the world is becoming increasingly richer-despite his intermediate dispute with US President Donald Trump, weak numbers at the car manufacturer Tesla and his various controversy. Musk has now been the first person to reach the $ 500 billion mark, I will write out the number here: 500,000,000,000. A sum that appears completely surreal. If you want to find out how difficult it is to spend $ 100 billion alone, I recommend this page to you. To classify the assets: Musk could buy McDonald’s and Disney – and still have several billion left. Alternatively, he could also buy the 50 most valuable sports teams in the world, even then over a hundred billion euros would be left.

Musk’s rise began a few years ago. With a fortune of just $ 24 billion, he was a poor swallower in March 2020, but the rapid price increase in Teslas and his participation in other companies also inspired Musk’s wealth. In the past ten months alone, his wealth of around $ 100 billion has increased and Musk is now threatening to hide this planet even to the other difficult -rich ones. He is currently lying $ 150 billion in front of the co-founder of the software group Oracle, Larry Ellison. In the case of Musk, however, the assets must be estimated even more than in other rich because many of its companies are not noted on the stock exchange.

But the 500 billion could only be an intermediate destination on the way to becoming the first trillionaire of history. A new deal with Tesla was only public at the beginning of September. Should Musk achieve the ambitious goals (including increasing the IPO to $ 8.5 billion and $ 20 million Cars) A bonus of around one trillion dollar waves him.

From Elon Musk to a person who is not nearly as rich, but has revolutionized primate research with her use. Jane Goodall died on Wednesday evening at the age of 91 during a lecture trip in California. “She never let herself get her down. Jane Goodall Was fighter. Tireless. And above all, she was fearless, “my colleague Alexandra Kraft writes in her obituary to the researcher.

Goodall had not been intimidated when she started studying the chimpanzees in Tanzania in 1960 and was also not intimidated by the fact that she, the young British who had never studied, was initially tired by other (male) researchers. With her report that appeared three years later, she fundamentally revolutionized the understanding of the social behavior of our closest relatives. As first recognizes Goodall In the monkeys and behaviors known from humans. She realized that chimpanzee are individual personalities, perform services and have essential trains that were only believed to have been trusted until then.

As “one Womanthat turned the world of zoology upside down, “described Goodalls Colleague and friend, the naturalist David Attenborough, once. Goodall was inspiration for many and so she will be (hopefully) remembered for a long time. Grief worldwide is at least great. The United Nations wrote that it left an extraordinary legacy for humanity and nature. British Prince Harry and his wife Duchess Meghan paid tribute Goodall as “visionary humanist, scientist, girlfriend of the planet and girlfriend of us”. “Your wisdom and compassion will continue to live in every act of nature conservation,” wrote Canada’s former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on X.

Jane Goodall also received worldwide attention with her books, which she published numerous, also for children. Why am I initiating the next topic?
