Estimated Income of Elon Musk<\/h2>\n

Elon Musk has become one of the most successful and influential entrepreneurs of our time. As the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, his net worth currently sits at around $25 billion. Given his success, his daily earnings must be substantial. But just how much money does Elon Musk make on a daily basis?\n<\/p>\n

According to CNBC, in the first quarter of 2020, Tesla revealed that Musk made an average of $170.7 million per day from salary and stock options alone. This does not include other sources of income he might have, such as investments, royalties, and real estate holdings, which are not publicly reported.\n<\/p>\n

A closer look at Musk’s salary reveals that his annual salary is $56,380, a humble figure for one of the world’s most wealthy individuals. This salary is augmented through a record-breaking performance award package he negotiated with the Tesla board. The package allowed him to receive up to 20.3 million stock options, depending on Tesla’s market cap increasing by certain amounts over a certain period of time. In that quarter, Musk sold nearly $1 billion of stock, and so his daily income increased as a result.\n<\/p>\n

What’s even more remarkable is that the majority of these stock options were reserved for achievement of ten consecutive years of market capitalization growth. With the current Tesla market cap sitting at more than $600 billion, Musk is well on his way to unlocking many of these options.\n<\/p>\n
