A total of $253 billion. Forbes says that Musk is the wealthiest person on the planet. Brin is worth an estimated $89.9 billion, making him the third richest person in the world.

Key Background

Recent scandals plague Musk's personal life. Insider reported in May that Musk's company paid $250,000 to settle accusations that he propositioned a flight attendant and exposed himself to her. Musk said the attacks on him were political. Insider reported earlier this month that Musk fathered twins with a woman who worked for him before she became an executive at Neuralink. Musk said he was doing his best to help the population crisis. Musk welcomed his tenth child, a baby girl born via a surrogate, just one month after the twins were born. Last month, Musk's daughter was granted a name and gender change in the Los Angeles County Superior Court in Santa Monica, after she said she wanted to be recognized as a woman and no longer wants to be related to her father. The social network sued Musk after he tried to back out of a deal to buy it.

The Wall Street Journal reported that the friendship between Musk and Brin had been ruined by an affair.

According to reports, the company paid $250,000 to settle sexual harassment allegations against Musk.
