“Calculating earnings per second involved dividing this total by the number of seconds in a year (31,536,000), resulting in an approximate figure of $114.80 per second; this translates to $6,887 per minute, $413,220 per hour, $9,917,280 per day, and $69,420,960 per week,” the report said.

The report emphasised the importance of Musk’s earnings despite his slip to second place as the world’s richest person.

“Musk’s financial prowess is nothing short of remarkable. Despite a dip in net worth from last year, he remains one of the wealthiest individuals globally, largely due to his diverse array of successful ventures,” the report stated. “Through Tesla’s electrifying innovations, SpaceX’s ambitious space endeavours, and his involvement in various other ventures, Musk continues to leave an indelible mark on the world stage,” it added.

In the world of billionaires, Musk’s net worth is undoubtedly impressive, the report said. However, he faces tough competition from the chairman and CEO of global luxury goods company LVMH Bernard Arnault, who boasts a net worth of $219.1 billion. Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, although no longer holding the top spot, still commands an impressive $192.5 billion, and Meta Founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg trails behind with a net worth of $166.6 billion.

In other news, Musk has migrated the state of incorporation of its space rocket company, SpaceX, to Texas from Delaware after a Delaware judge invalidated his $56-billion pay package from Tesla — another company that Musk owns. According to the order, Musk cannot keep the 2018 compensation package.
