Elon Musk, the richest man in the world
Elon Musk could be the first billionaire in history. According to a study by Tipalti Approve, which compared the annual net worth of the richest people in the world, predicting by when they will reach the trillion dollars (i.e., one trillion dollars), the founder of Tesla and SpaceX could win the top spot of this phantasmagoric ranking is already in 2024. Currently, the South African businessman with Canadian citizenship and naturalized US boasts a net worth of approximately $ 200 billion, the tallest of any living human being. But as early as mid-January of this year, the figure was $ 263 billion. Tesla is just one factor contributing to this incredible wealth: the SpaceX project, for example, alone pushed his net worth into the twelve-digit empyrean. “Since 2017, Musk’s fortune has shown an average annual increase of 129%, which could potentially see him join the trillion dollar club in just two years,” reaching a net worth of $ 1.38 trillion by 2024, when Musk is 52 years old”Explains the Approve report. Projections like these, however, can change quickly and so does the ranking. For example, Zhong Shanshanthe president of Chinese bottled water company Nongfu Spring, saw his net worth jump from $ 2 billion in 2020 to $ 71 billion in 2022, following public offerings for two of his companies in Hong Kong.
So, with the awareness that a new super scrooge could already be around the corner, let’s see what are the other candidates to join the “Trillion dollar club”.
