Billionaire Elon Musk and the ‘strange’ hobby: Buying rockets without blinking, the more money you shop, the more money pours in

The luxury items owned by the Tesla boss make many people exclaim: The billionaire has a hobby like no other!

Billionaire Elon Musk has amassed a huge fortune thanks to his technology projects, and with his billion-dollar fortune, he owns some of the most expensive items in human history.

Here are the 6 most expensive “items” that Elon Musk owns.

1. Billion-dollar companies

Talking about Elon Musk’s wealth, it is impossible to ignore all the companies he owns and all the other world projects he has been involved in. For example, Musk is the owner of a domain name. The domain name “x.com” is officially owned by Musk and costs about $1 million.

SpaceX is one of Musk’s assets and it has reached new heights in recent years. It is worth about $74 billion. SolarCity is also one of Musk’s most notable projects because it is a manufacturer of solar panels and is based in San Mateo, California. SolarCity is a subsidiary of Musk’s famous Tesla and is worth about $3.5 billion.

The tech billionaire now has a fortune of more than $177 billion, and he can easily afford the lavish lifestyle that most people dream of. What makes Musk stand out is his investment decisions when creating revolutionary products. This is also the secret behind Elon Musk’s unimaginable success.

2. Rockets and launchers

The fact that the SpaceX boss owns the world’s best rocket launch vehicles is not surprising because these projects are all headed by Musk and handled manually.

He owns the Falcon 9, a two-stage orbital lift vehicle for launching rockets into space. It is also one of the most revolutionary designs made by his company SpaceX and costs $62 million.

SpaceX also designed the Falcon Heavy, which is an improvement on the Falcon 9 because it is a larger and heavier rocket launcher than its predecessor. It costs more than twice as much as the Falcon 9 – about $150 million. Musk has always pursued the goal of sending humans into space, and this is only part of his preparation.

3. List of the most expensive real estate

Just like many other billionaires, Elon Musk also owns luxurious and expensive homes. For example, his Los Angeles mansion is known for its futuristic design and sky-high price tag of around $4.5 million. The villa area covers an area of about 280m2 and comes with four large bedrooms and three bathrooms.

Musk bought the house in 2014 for about $3.37 million, but after renovations and changes to a few details in the design, its price has reached $4.5 million.

Not long after, he continued to buy a special Bel Air villa for 17 million USD. The private Bel Air suburb in California is well suited to the billionaire’s tastes. The house has seven bedrooms, nine bathrooms, a giant projection room, a swimming pool, and an upgraded tennis court.

However, the Tesla billionaire is said to have made a big sale in 2020 and only has a house worth $50,000 left. Even now, he is living in a rented house.

4. Private yachts and jets

In addition to owning some extremely rare supercar models, Elon Musk is also the owner of a number of private yachts. This is arguably one of the most expensive yachts but their value is still kept secret.

He also owns an equally fancy private jet that costs about $70,000. This is a special aircraft designed by Gulfstream Aerospace in 2015.

5. Luxury Supercar Collection

Elon Musk spends most of his time inventing futuristic technologies that can revolutionize transportation. In addition, he owns a series of luxury cars. The Tesla boss spends most of his money on buying the most special cars.

His garage housed luxury monsters such as the Audi Q7, which cost about $70,000, and the 1967 Jaguar Series 1 which cost about $104,000. Musk also owns electronic cars including the Tesla Roadster with a “sky-high” price of about $200,000; Mclaren F1 is about $1 million and the most widely advertised McLaren F1 supercar is worth more than $12 million.

Unfortunately, the McLaren F1 is the best car Musk has ever owned, but unfortunately he was in a serious car accident while traveling with his business partner and friend Peter Thiel who was driving on it. Fortunately, none of them were seriously injured.

6. Diamond and ruby rings in the shape of Tesla

One of the most expensive things that the Tesla billionaire owns is a custom-designed piece of jewelry. This may surprise many people, but Musk owns a ring with the Tesla logo worth more than $37,000.

This particular ring was designed and created by designer Ben Baller. This is a gift that Baller gave to Musk and what is even more special is that Musk is the only celebrity who has ever received a gift from Ben.

The ring is a thank you from Baller for creating Tesla, which provides jobs for about 50,000 Americans. The ring is set with diamonds and rubies to design the Tesla lettering in white and red.
