Worlds Richest Man Lifestyle: There is a man whose success has not gone to his head. Despite being the richest man in the world, this man prefers to live a very simple life. Let us tell you who this man is.
Worlds Richest Billionaire: When we think of billionaires, we think of lavish lifestyle, unlimited money, private jets, expensive cars, luxurious bungalows, expensive clothes etc. But, there is a man whose success has not gone to his head. Despite being the richest man in the world, this man prefers to live a very simple life. This man is none other than Elon Musk. He is very active on social media and has left everyone behind in terms of wealth.
Does not live a luxurious life
Elon Musk does not live a luxurious life like other billionaires. According to Forbes, Tesla and SpaceX CEO Musk has a net worth of $409 billion, but he once said that he avoids spending money on things that most rich people enjoy - like big bungalows, expensive food or expensive cars. Instead, Musk prefers a simple life with few things.
Does not care about luxury
In a Twitter post in May 2020, he wrote that "I am selling almost all material possessions. Will not keep any house." Musk also said in Joe Rogan's podcast that "I think possessions burden you in a way. They are a kind of attack vector." Musk has made it clear that he does not care much about luxury, even if he can afford it.
Shifted to a small house
Between 2020 and 2021, Musk sold seven of his homes in California, which were worth about $100 million. It was then reported that he moved to a small boxable house near the SpaceX site in Texas. According to reports, the house is just 375 square feet, smaller than some studio apartments, and costs $50,000.
Learned how to spend a day on $1
In an old interview with Neil deGrasse Tyson, Elon Musk said that in his early startup days, he used to live on fast food and spend the money on his business. He told that at the age of 17, he saw if he could survive on just $1 food a day.
Elon Musk also stayed at Larry Page's house
Google co-founder Larry Page has previously said that Musk would sometimes ask to stay at his house when he had no other place to stay. In a 2022 TED Talk, Elon Musk said that "I don't even have a house of my own right now, I'm literally staying at friends' places."
Not a Lavish Lifestyle
Musk's former partner Grimes once told Vanity Fair that they lived "sometimes below the poverty line." During the interview in March 2022, she said that "they don't live like billionaires," and also said that "they sometimes live below the poverty line." She then recalled that they were living in a $40,000 house with no security and a hole in the mattress. Instead of replacing the mattress, Musk told her that she should just change sides.
Car not changed even after accident
According to a report by Benzinga, Musk once bought a $1 million McLaren F1 car, but while showing it off, he crashed it. He lost control of the car. The car flew into the air and crashed. He later admitted it was uninsured. Musk never replaced it and now drives mostly Tesla cars.
