Elon Musk is a South African-American multibillionaire businessman and entrepreneur. Over the years, his high-profile involvements in major companies such as PayPal, SpaceX, and Tesla have seen him accrue a large amount of wealth, consistently ranking him among the wealthiest people in the world, if not the absolute richest overall. As of December 2024, Forbes estimated his net worth at nearly $430 billion, making him the wealthiest person on Earth, having a worth on par with the 2nd and 3rd richest people on the list – Jeff Bezos and Larry Ellison – combined.
