On the 7th of January, 2021, one of the world’s best-humoured entrepreneurs was announced as the world’s richest man. Elon Musk who had a major hand in different companies including Tesla, SpaceX, and a host of others, had a net worth higher than $185bn, according to the BBC. This put him ahead of Amazon giant – Jeff Bezos – who had had a monopoly on the title since 2017.

Of course, for those in the finance world, this development wasn’t much of development at all. For them, it was just about time. For everyone else, however, it seemed to be a bit of a shocker. This is especially so considering the fact that less than ten years ago, in an article posted on Forbes, Elon Musk was only worth about $2bn.

If you do the math, you’ll realize that he has grown more than $100bn in less than a decade – the time it takes the average person to pay off their student debts in applicable countries. For any human being, that is a lot of growth. Even for someone as rich as Jeff Bezos, $100bn is a lot of money and losing it would be too much of a horror.
