The net worth of the owner of Tesla continues to get fatter from day to day and, at this moment, Elon Musk’s fortune reaches the astronomical value of 289 billion dollars, which is greater than the Portuguese GDP.
According to the World Bank data, the Portuguese Gross Domestic Product, in 1200, it was equivalent to 231 billion dollars which means that Elon Musk’s fortune surpasses Portugal’s GDP by 58 billion dollars. It is surprising to find that a single individual has a wealth greater than that generated by a country of 10 millons of citizens.
