Imagine waking up tomorrow with enough money to buy a few countries, a dozen superyachts, or even a historic painting like the Mona Lisa.
Sounds wild, right? Well, for Elon Musk, that’s just another Tuesday.
Despite facing major backlash over some recent online drama, Musk still holds onto his title as the richest person on the planet.
And the gap between him and everyone else? It’s not even close.
Musk’s Online Slip-Up Costs Tesla—But Not Him
So here’s what went down: Musk, who owns the social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter), decided to fire shots at former U.S. President Donald Trump in a very public and controversial post.
Naturally, the internet exploded—and so did Tesla’s stock… just in the wrong direction.
The electric car company reportedly took a $150 billion hit after the incident.
Musk eventually issued an apology, but the financial damage to Tesla was done.
Still, with the kind of wealth he’s sitting on, Musk probably didn’t lose sleep over it.
A Net Worth That’s Still Mind-Boggling
At the time this was written, Musk’s net worth sits at an eye-watering $410.8 billion, according to the Forbes Real-Time Billionaires List.
That’s more than double what the second-richest person has.
Next in line is Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison, who, at 80 years old, is worth $258.8 billion.
That’s a massive $152 billion gap. And just behind Ellison is Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg, with a still-hefty $235.6 billion.
Let’s Talk About What Musk Could Actually Buy
Now here’s the fun part—what could you buy if you had Musk-level money? Basically, anything your heart (or imagination) desires.
He could scoop up luxury motorcycles, custom Ferraris, high-rise skyscrapers in major cities, entire fleets of mega yachts, literal gold bars, and enough Rolex watches to open his own luxury store chain.
Oh, and let’s not forget—you could technically buy the Mona Lisa (if France ever decided to sell it, of course).
Even after all that spending, Musk would still have billions to spare.
Your Turn—What Would You Do With Elon’s Fortune?
It’s a fun thought, isn’t it? With $410 billion, you could pretty much reshape your entire life and then some. So what’s the first thing you’d splurge on?
