Let’s start with him, which is no longer a surprise. Elon Musk is known for being the richest man in the world, with a fortune of $224 billion.

With great ambitions, Elon Musk created the celebrity billionaire category. Some are fans of his achievements and investments in technology.

He owns Tesla, an automobile company that owns highly technological electric cars.

A step further in what we might call “transportation” is his company SpaceX, which develops rockets and spacecraft to be launched into space.
