Elon Musk, the richest person in the world, has reached a level of wealth that only one other individual in history has come close to – oil magnate John D. Rockefeller.
Musk’s staggering net worth of $474 billion at the time of writing, or 1.61% of the U.S. GDP based on third-quarter data, is reminiscent of Rockefeller’s dominance when his fortune peaked at 1.5% of GDP.
