Elon Musk – 165
The current “Richest Man in the World” is a no-brainer for this list. This business magnate is a genius in every sense of the word. He is the man behind multi-billion-dollar companies such as SpaceX and Tesla. He is also the co-founder of companies such as The Boring Company, Neuralink, and OpenAI. In 2018, he was named by Forbes Magazine as the 25th Most Powerful Person in the World.
If you need more proof of his genius, he is also an industrial designer, an engineer, and a member of the prestigious and highly exclusive Fellow of the Royal Society, which is a significant honor awarded to eminent societies throughout history, elevating Musk to the likes of Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin and, of course, Albert Einstein. He graduated from the University of Pennsylvania, where he received dual bachelor’s degrees in economics and physics.
