Just looked at Elon Musk's net worth trajectory over the years, and honestly it's insane how much it's grown. Back in 2010, he was sitting at just $0.3B - hard to imagine given where things are now. By 2012 he hit $2.7B, then kept climbing pretty steadily through the mid-2010s. The real acceleration kicked in around 2020 when it jumped to $30B, and from there it's been exponential. 2021 saw this crazy spike to $300B, which was wild. There was a pullback in 2022 to $140B, but it recovered to $220B in 2023. Now in 2026, we're looking at $830B - that's more than 2700x from where Elon Musk started back in 2010. The compounding effect of his stakes in Tesla and other ventures is pretty mind-blowing when you look at it over this long timeline. Definitely one of the most dramatic wealth accumulation stories in recent history.
