Net worth vs. nations
Is Elon Musk richer than Honduras? Yes — by a lot.
Elon Musk's net worth — about $1.31 trillion — is larger than the entire annual GDP of Honduras, which is about $37.1 billion. In other words, one man is worth roughly 35× Honduras's whole economy.

Put differently: Elon Musk could fund every dollar of economic output Honduras produces in a year — 35 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.
