What Could Elon Musk Buy with His Fortune?
Elon Musk’s net worth is around $330 billion (£270 billion). That’s an almost unimaginable amount of money, but what could he actually buy with it? Let’s break it down.
Buying an Island’s Worth of Private Jets
The British Virgin Islands has about 30,000 residents. With his fortune, Musk could buy every single person their own private jet, costing around $8 million each. That would cost him $240 billion—and he’d still have $90 billion (£73.6 billion) left over!
A Tesla for Everyone in Iceland
Iceland has about 342,860 people. Musk could give each person two Tesla Model S Plaid cars, which cost about $130,000 each. That would add up to $89 billion, leaving him with $241 billion (£197 billion).
Other Fun Ways He Could Spend His Money
- A Rolex for every person in Los Angeles (3.9 million people, $10,000 each) = $39 billion
- A MacBook Pro for everyone in the UK (67 million people, $2,000 each) = $134 billion
- Two pairs of Jordans for every American (331 million people, $200 per pair) = $132.4 billion
- A one-month Netflix subscription for everyone on Earth (7.8 billion people, $10 each) = $78 billion
Even after these huge spends, he’d still have billions left over.
Musk vs. the World’s Biggest Companies
To put things in perspective, Musk’s $330 billion fortune is more than the combined annual profits of Apple and Microsoft, which together made $167.4 billion in 2024.
His wealth is also larger than the entire yearly revenue of major car manufacturers:
- Ford – $156 billion
- Mitsubishi – $136 billion
- Honda – $120.4 billion
- General Motors – $115.8 billion
Musk’s fortune is truly in a league of its own!
How Musk’s Wealth Changes Overnight
Because most of Musk’s money is tied up in stocks, his fortune goes up and down all the time. Here are some of the biggest changes in recent years:
- December 2024: + $170 billion – A huge rise due to Tesla’s success
- January 2025: - $14 billion – Tesla stock drops 8%
- February 2025: - $30 billion – A 10% slide in Tesla shares
- March 2025: - $102 billion – A massive loss linked to Musk’s involvement in politics
Even after these losses, Musk still remains one of the richest people on the planet. His fortune might be unpredictable, but it’s still astronomically large!
