How does Elon have so much? I understand bezos and Amazon.
buffet is a million years old, not even comparable.Buffett would be right there if he hadn't donated so much money.
Buffett's net worth is $101 billion. But he only has 238,624 shares of Berkshire left, down from the 474,998 he had in 2006.
If he still had the 474,998 shares he owned back in 2006, he'd have $197.8 billion today.
Plus he runs a company that actually makes money. A lot of money. Tesla just lost boatloads until very recently.
stock value, both provide services for people in different ways. elon with electric vehicles, solar products, and satellite internet, amazon shipping logistics, web/cloud services and a million subsidiary companiesHow does Elon have so much? I understand bezos and Amazon.
bill is likely the true richest man on earth without money locked in stocks. If elon or bezos pulled the mat, their companies would fold, and they wouldnt be able to sell off their shares in a short amount of time anyhow. They have to strategically move it around, and bill has been doing that for decades, his charity is a mirage.Fun fact Bill Gates crossed briefly over 100 billion way back at the end of the 1990's. He has since put 10's of billions in to his charity. The point is at around that time Bill divested a ton of his Microsoft holdings.
The issue now it's a lot harder to determine his actual net worth. He now owns tons a land, rail properties an massive overseas investments. It's a lot harder to track his actual net worth.
I bet in real world terms even with the divorce his actual net worth could be in the 100's of billions. It really next to impossible to measure the accuracy of the real valuation.
He only recently weighed in on Elon over statements vaccine mandates an Elon's slams of Microsoft.
They need to start going on whacky treasure hunting endeavors while dueling it out like Scrooge McDuck and Flintheart Glomgold.
Na not even close this has been evaluated many times. People have speculate a lot but his gambles on oil wealth has collapsed much of his wealth. He still controls a country so that gives him a lot of power but the Russian economy is far smaller then US an China as well as his wealth.
The government really needs to step in and take most of that money for different social programs. There is such a thing as too much wealth, and they both have it. That money could be much better used elsewhere. Not where it should be exactly, but there should be a personal wealth cap at say 100 million or something
i would agree thereIf such a thing ever got passed.....and it won't.....start with the church.
Uhh... because Tesla is valued at about 800 billion dollars, and Elon holds 22% of those shares.How does Elon have so much? I understand bezos and Amazon.
For some reason i doubt the sleep at work thing
Only one I respect is Musk.. at least he's legit a genius an not just a good business man.
way before you get to where these guys are. at this point it is immoral. when somebody starves to death it is their fault 100%. i would not take (and keep) that kind of money if you gave it to me let alone seek it out.
Where's your line for getting blood on your hands? I could cut most luxuries out of my life and save a lot of lives, is it immoral that I don't?
I believe that if the system allows for immense amounts of money to be earned, legally, by certain people, then it's quite beta to bitch about the people who simply have the money instead of the system that gave them the potential to make their money. They made their money, it's theirs, they have all the right to do whatver they want with it.
