Elon Musk has become the first human being in history to surpass a net worth of $400,000,000,000.
The billionaire reached the incredible net worth this week, crowning him the first human in our history to do so.
Musk is now worth $447 billion as of December 11 beating Jeff Bezos, the second richest person in the world, by $198 billion – according to Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
Bloomberg reported that after the US presidential election, Musk became $136 billion richer.
Trump also shared that Musk now has a job in the White House:
“I am pleased to announce that the Great Elon Musk, working in conjunction with American Patriot Vivek Ramaswamy, will lead the Department of Government Efficiency (‘DOGE’),” adding that together, they would ‘pave the way for my Administration to dismantle Government Bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure Federal Agencies – Essential to the ‘Save America’ Movement’.
The 53-year-old has a long list of successful businesses, including Tesla, SpaceX, Twitter, artificial intelligence company xAi, his infrastructure business, The Boring Company as well as tech business, Neuralink.
He also owns a share of cryptocurrency, including Dogecoin – and now, his role in politics, working alongside president elect, Donald Trump.
Not a bad week to be Elon Musk.
