- The eccentric billionaire celebrates his birthday
- This is an occasion to remember the milestone moments of his life
Billionaire Elon Musk celebrates his birthday today. The businessman was born on June 28, 1972. He is the first-born son of Canadian model May Musk and South African businessman Errol Musk.
From childhood, Elon grew up a withdrawn child and was fond of science books instead of games.. As May Musk recalls, at age 4 her son first asked where the universe begins and ends.
The future head of Tesla made his first money at age 12. He created and sold his first computer game, Blastar, for $500. The money received from the sale, Ilon invested in the shares of a pharmaceutical company, which he monitored through the media. He did not sell securities, and by the time he graduated, he had amassed a solid sum.
Musk has several college degrees. He attended Kingston University, the University of Pennsylvania, and Stanford (he did not graduate from the latter).. During his lifetime, the businessman also managed to work on the creation of PayPal and software for The New York Times. But Musk gained worldwide fame as the head of Tesla Motors and SpaceX.
As of last year, he also became the owner of Twitter. However, the last purchase caused Musk a lot of problems and losses. Because of this, he temporarily ceased to be the richest man in the world. He was overtaken by Bernard Arnault, who is called the “king of luxury.”
In the latest Forbes rankings, Musk was once again given the upper hand. So this is a reason to celebrate his birthday in good spirits.
