Entrepreneur could become the world’s first billionaire

Elon Musk, 50, is already the richest person in the world – with an estimated fortune of $ 249 billion. But that could soon increase. The entrepreneur could become the first billionaire in the world, now predicted according to “The Guardian” an investment bank.

Musk made most of his fortune from electric car maker Tesla. According to the report, analysts at Morgan Stanley suspect that he could make a lot more money with his space research company SpaceX. According to the Guardian, analyst Adam Jonas said the company, which was founded in 2002, “questions any preconceived notion of what is possible in terms of missiles, launch vehicles and supporting infrastructure.”

Musk leaves Jeff Bezos behind

Experts estimated that SpaceX could become the highest rated company in the world. SpaceX’s reusable Starship rockets, which could take people and cargo to the moon and Mars, have the potential to change the expectations of investors in the space industry, Jonas said.

Musk overtook Amazon boss Jeff Bezos (57) in January to become the richest person in the world. In the meantime he lost the top spot, meanwhile he is listed by the “Bloomberg Billionaires Index” but led back to the top. Musk is believed to own about $ 51 billion more than Bezos at an estimated $ 249 billion.

Flying high since 2020

Musk’s fortune has skyrocketed since the beginning of last year. In January 2020, the entrepreneur was number 35 on the super-rich list. In the course of the following months his fortune should have grown according to “Bloomberg” by 100.3 billion US dollars. In November he became the second richest person in the world. This year, the billionaire allegedly increased his wealth by 72 billion US dollars.

Behind Musk and Bezos are Bernard Arnault ($ 164 billion), Bill Gates ($ 133 billion) and Mark Zuckerberg ($ 127 billion) in the “Bloomberg” ranking.
