Very plausible, he's in second place, there's about a 10% difference between him and first place, there's most of a year for those values to fluctuate, and he only needs to be briefly in first at any point, not in first place at the end.

@Endovior What fluctuations would you expect? Just to get started, I simulated random walks with starting points = current net worths (200 and 190) and steps generated from normal distributions N(0,sd) for sd=2/3 (based on looking at the rankings for a few days). The random walks crossed with probability around 0.51.
