Over the past five decades, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, Elon Musk has managed to become one of the world's most successful business magnates and tech entrepreneurs. All this while being focused on his long-term goal of colonizing Mars and winning the space race. As per Forges, he's currently the second richest person in the world with an enormous net worth.

On that note let's take a look at Elon Musk's billionaire lifestyle in 2021.

After launching SpaceX, his aerospace manufacturer and space transport company, Elon Musk joined Tesla in 2004 as product architect and chairman before becoming its CEO four years later. Through these companies, he's well on his way to revolutionizing transportation both on earth and in space. But in-between space rockets, electric cars, and solar batteries, he surely made a considerable amount of billions along the way. Musk's wealth surged over the past year, marking the fastest rise to the top of the rich list, in history! About his worth, we talked in here.

His Real Estate Portfolio

Before he decided to sell nearly his entire property portfolio, Elon Musk owned more than 100 million dollars worth of residential property in California. His buying spree started in late 2012. with Los Angeles's Bel-Air neighborhood, where the tech titans splurged 17M on a 1.67-acre estate. The 20248 square foot mansion is well suited to the taste of the billionaire. As it features seven bedrooms, nine bathrooms, a special 1000 bottle wine cellar… Gym, in-door cinema, a tennis court, a two-story library among other amenities. The Tesla boss further paid roughly 55M for other homes in separate deals, between 2015 and 2019. That said, he seems to be keeping a promise he made in a tweet in May 2021. "Own no house and focus on a multi-planetary life instead"

Several weeks later, the Los Angeles's Time reported that Musk had sold three of his adjacent mansions in Bel Air for a total of 40.9M. While other sources revealed that he listed all four la homes for a combined $62.5 million. Apart from this deal he also listed two other mansions following his Twitter announcement. Musk went one step further with his promise when he listed his San Francisco bay area estate in June last year for $37.5M and announced that he had decided to sell his last remaining house.

Private Jets

Managing both SpaceX and Tesla means that this famous entrepreneur needs to frequently travel to work, which he loves to do with pure extravagance. Musk's two private jets namely the "Gulfstream g650e" and "Gulfstream g550" can be best described as the "Peak of luxury air travel". The Gulfstream g650 offers an incredibly high performance of 7.500 nautical miles and is his preferred ride from California to Texas.

Designed with Musk's comfort and productivity in mind, both of these private jets are well equipped with handcrafted chairs with flight-entertainment screens, separate cabins to work, relax and sleep, among other fancy features. The Gulfstream g650 takes the ultimate prize of a mind-numbing price of 70 million dollars.

Car Collection and another expensive possession

As the founder of one of the most famous automakers in the world, it's no surprise that Elon Musk has an affinity for cars. As the founder of one of the most famous automakers in the world, it's no surprise that Elon Musk has an affinity for cars.
