Jeff Bezos strolls round NYC with Lauren Sanchez as Elon Musk's net worth soars to 230BILLION - pushing the Amazon boss further into second place of world's richest

Bezos was all smiles after the successful launch of his Blue Origin project, which included Star Trek star William Shatner as the oldest-ever person to enter space last week. 

Meanwhile, the Tesla founder recently saw his and his SpaceX company's wealth swell after a share sale at SpaceX on October 8 worth $100 billion in a secondary offering. 

The company had an agreement with both new and existing investors to sell up to $755 million in SpaceX stock from insiders at $560 per share, multiple people close with the deal told CNBC.   

The 33 percent increase in its new share price brings the company’s valuation to $100.3 billion after initially offering the deal to investors in February, when SpaceX's valuation stood at $74 billion at 419.19 a share.

The first round of offerings raised nearly $1.2 billion, the outlet reports.

Musk was not modest about besting his rival, even going so far as to tweet a 'second place' medal under Bezos' own tweet after the Blue Origin and Amazon founder

The company's new increased valuation places it in the rare company of a private 'centicorn' or 'hectocorn,' which are companies with a valuation of $1 billion unicorns 100 times over.
