Elon Musk, the eccentric billionaire behind SpaceX and Tesla, is poised to become the wealthiest person on the planet, surpassing Jeff Bezos and the French Anrault family. With his innovative ventures in space exploration and electric vehicles, Musk’s net worth is currently estimated at around $220 billion, with Bezos trailing behind at $212 billion.
Musk’s ascent to the top spot on the Forbes Real-Time Billionaires List is largely attributed to a potential insider share sale at SpaceX, which could boost his fortune by billions. This strategic move, combined with recent successes at SpaceX, such as securing a lucrative contract to de-orbit the International Space Station and the promising performance of the Starlink internet service, has positioned Musk for financial domination.
