ELON MUSK—$210 Billion

Engineer, designer, technologist, and amazing entrepreneur, Elon Musk, who’s the founder and CEO of multi-billion dollar companies SpaceX and Tesla, is reported to be worth around $79 billion. Of course, we’re definitely not surprised, given the success of the companies mentioned above, as well as the success of Musk’s other, lesser-known, companies. Musk is also said to be the inspiration for the MCU’s character of Tony Stark, who was wonderfully played by Robert Downey Jr. in the Iron Man and Avengers films.

Weirdly enough, Musk said for an interview that he’d be ridding himself of all his real estate investments in the coming years. We’re not really sure why, but that’s what he said. Nevertheless, the business magnate never stops with his pioneering projects and ventures. In 2019, he ranked joint-first in Forbes’ list of the Most Innovative Leaders. By January 2021, he became the richest person in the world, beating the $20 billion gap in just a matter of four days.
