Valued at $273.6 billion, Elon Musk, 50, currently occupies the top slot at Forbes’ Real-Time Billionaires list. Musk founded some of the most revolutionary companies on the planet—from PayPal, which made it easier to send money across the globe to Tesla, which triggered a shift from fossil fuels-powered vehicles to electric vehicles. Among other companies that the centi-billionaire owns, SpaceX, is the only private space-technology company capable of returning a spacecraft from low-Earth orbit, and flying reusable rockets. Musk recently acquired a 9.2% stake in micro-blogging platform Twitter and followed it up with a hostile bid to acquire the rest of the company.
Elon Musk Biography
- Name – Elon Reeve Musk
- Born – June 28, 1971
- Birthplace – Pretoria, Transvaal, South Africa
- Role – Businessman
- Zodiac Sign – Capricorn
- Nationality – South Africa, Canada, United States
Musk, a self-confessed free-speech absolutist, has often found himself cornered over antics, which some say are carefully curated to project a cult-of-personality figure; while others opine, set him apart from his rich, old and balding white male peers. For instance, Musk once smoked pot and sipped whiskey during a 2.5-hour-long podcast with Joe Rogan and came under regulatory fire for tweeting that the price of Tesla is too high.
Musk owns 21% in Tesla after accounting for shares pledged as collateral against loans. SpaceX, Musk’s rocket company is valued at $74 billion.
Musk grew up in South Africa and later migrated to Canada at the age of 17 because he was unwilling to support apartheid and through compulsory military service.
After dropping out of a graduate programme in physics from Stanford because he felt the internet has much more potential to change the world, he founded Zip2, which provided maps and business directories to newspaper companies. It was acquired by computer maker Compaq for $307 million. He then cofounded X.com, which later became PayPal and was acquired by ebay for $1.5 billion.
