Elon Musk didn’t have to do much on a personal note to get richer. It has everything to do with his businesses.
When you read about the richest people in the world, it often has nothing to do with the personal bank account. It has much more to do with the possession of that person or persons. The property increases in value and therefore that more person has become worth more. Elon Musk is currently the richest man in the world. In recent weeks, he has been able to write billions of euros.
SpaceX, but especially Tesla is going very well. Because Musk has a large stake in both companies, he naturally benefits from it. Hence, the Tesla boss has soared $80 billion in value this year alone. And we still have two months to go in 2021! Musk knows how to keep delivering the Model 3 and Model Y neatly, where other car manufacturers are struggling with chip shortages. Meanwhile, Tesla continues to rise in value. In addition, Tesla has won a huge order, it was announced today. The American car manufacturer is allowed to deliver 100,000 cars to car rental company Hertz.
At the moment, Elon Musk is according to Bloomberg worth about $252 billion. Just for good measure. We were once impressed by Bill Gates worth $146 billion in his finest days. The new rich go one step further.
Everything stands or falls with the results of Tesla and SpaceX. Disappointing results mean fewer drops for Mr Musk.
