Net worth vs. nations
Is Elon Musk richer than Angola? Yes — by a lot.
Elon Musk's net worth — about $1.31 trillion — is larger than the entire annual GDP of Angola, which is about $101 billion. In other words, one man is worth roughly 13× Angola's whole economy.

Put differently: Elon Musk could fund every dollar of economic output Angola produces in a year — 13 times over — and still be the richest person on the planet. His fortune is driven by his stakes in Tesla and SpaceX, and it moves by roughly $33,000 every second.
