Elon Musk
Net Worth: $195 billion
Company: Tesla and SpaceX
Country: USA
The name Elon Musk has been making headlines lately for several reasons. The Bloomberg Billionaires Index currently lists him as the wealthiest person in the world. This came to be through hard work and being a visionary. He is the founder, CTO, chief designer, and CEO of SpaceX and the CEO and product architect of Tesla. Armed with a dual diploma in economics and physics from the University of Pennsylvania, Musk founded both Tesla and SpaceX to realize his future visions.
He now looks forward to people having the ability to move to Mars through SpaceX and hopes to make gas cars extinct to help lessen the damage to the environment. SpaceX also began developing a constellation of low-earth-orbit satellites to help provide satellite internet to most of the world. If these materialize, we could all live in a more connected and better world.
