Musk is so rich that he exceeds the GDP of 150 countries. We tell you what they are

This you can buy with the fortune of Elon Musk 1:56

(CNN Spanish) -

 Can you imagine more than US $ 300,000 million?

It is a monstrous amount of money that, if we said that only one person has it, we could think that it is simply fiction.

But no, there is someone who really has that amount ... and his name is Elon Musk.

He is an entrepreneur in the automotive industry.

And also from the aerospace sector.

And telecommunications.

Anyway, so you could continue with a few more sectors.

What is clear is that Musk, founder of Tesla and SpaceX, has businesses everywhere, especially related to technology.

And just as his business life is diverse, so is his tendency to controversy.

For example, criticism of confinement orders due to the covid-19 pandemic;

its indirect control over some movements of cryptocurrencies;

the dispute with Jeff Bezos;

when he called the Thai cave rescuer a "pedophile";

and the most recent is his response to the UN on how to solve world hunger.

Many businesses and many controversies that have seen their wealth increase.

But how much money does he have exactly?

According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, as of November 3, 2021, it was $ 336 billion.

This exceeds the wealth of Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, by US $ 140 million.  

As we mentioned, it is very difficult to imagine that sum of money.

Although perhaps it is simpler if we say that Elon Musk has more money than many countries.

The wealth of the founder of Tesla and SpaceX exceeds the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of more than 150 nations and territories on the planet, located on all continents.

Do you want to know if your country is on the list?

Here is a table that indicates the GDP of these territories in 2020 (and some in 2019 and 2018), according to data from the World Bank.
