The Daily Money
 
Tuesday, October 12

Good morning, Daily Money team, it's Nathan joining you once again!

💳 🚗🚀 PayPal, Tesla, SpaceX.

Elon Musk has built some serious wealth. He is now worth more than a fifth of a trillion dollars – and that makes him the richest person in the world, according to the newly updated Bloomberg Billionaires Index.

Keep in mind that net worth estimates are just that ... estimates. It's hard to say for certain what Elon Musk is worth ($222 billion, according to Bloomberg) since a good chunk of his wealth is tied up in a private company, SpaceX.

Also, he has a lot of side projects, like his tunnel-boring company, and who knows how much he spends on those?

But if these figures are right, he's worth $30.4 billion more than space rival and erstwhile Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos.
