Elon Musk – $202 BILLION

When we talk about top executives of multi-billion-dollar companies, we often think of old guys in their expensive suits and their shiny new leather shoes. This is the stereotypical scene that we see in movies and television shows. However, Elon Musk brings a refreshing change to this perspective. He’s one of the youngest personalities out there who has made a name for himself as one of the top business-minded people out there. His competitive nature, on top of his desire for innovation, sets him apart from his peers.

Just take a look at the path and vision of his two famous companies, SpaceX and Tesla, Inc. – two of the top companies in the world that didn’t take any conventional route towards success. Instead, they paved their way and became pioneers in their respective industries. Due to his investments and the ground-breaking innovations he made in the past couple of years, he grabbed the title of the wealthiest person alive from Amazon’s Jeff Bezos.
