Billionaire entrepreneur and innovator Elon Musk is the founder, CEO, CTO and chief designer of SpaceX, collateral founder of Tesla, Inc., founder of The Boring Company and co-founder of Neuralink. He is also one of the most successful venture entrepreneurs in modern history and estimated to have a net worth of over $37billion.<\/p>\n

Musk started his career by co-founding Zip2, an online city guide, with his brother. In 1999, Zip2 was acquired by Compaq and Musk received a $22 million payout. From there, he went to launch PayPal, which was acquired by eBay, earning Musk a further $165 million. In 2004, Musk took a more risky approach and began investing a lot of money in a range of technologies, including Tesla Motors, which is now estimated to be worth about $340 billion. His involvement with SpaceX began in 2002.<\/p>\n

Musk’s estimated net worth comes from his various career success and investments. According to Forbes, his company Tesla is estimated to have a market cap of around $400 billion, and as of 2021, he is the third-richest person in the world, only behind Jeff Bezos and Bernard Arnault.<\/p>\n

Musk has made a lot of money in the past few years and has positioned himself to have one of the greatest financial portfolios in the world. Although he has been riding a wave of success with his various investments, there have been struggles along the way. In 2020, after reportedly claiming that the stock market had become too expensive and was ready to collapse due to coronavirus fears, Tesla’s stock price dropped dramatically. But Tesla bounced back, leading to a record-breaking surge in wealth for Musk.<\/p>\n
