The richest man in the world has been worth $ 249 billion since April 20, which puts him in line to become the richest man who ever lived.


Estimating that billions of dollars would be difficult, however.

With an average American being worth $ 121,760, including all goods such as cars, houses, 401Ks, it is almost impossible to understand how much is $ 249 billion.

So we here at Grizler started compiling numbers.

This is the first in a series of pieces we make to try to showcase the wealth of some of the great tech leaders in a way that seems accessible to the average consumer.

Elon Musk vs. Favorite American Hobbies

Today, we look at sports franchises.

We selected the most popular in America, such as Major League Baseball and National Football League, and added to other major leagues including the National Basketball Association and the National Hockey League.


We have used Sportico sports data website to obtain our ratings. They put the NFL at $ 112 billion, the NBA at $ 71 billion, the MLB at $ 66 billion and the NHL at $ 30 billion.


Add up all that and you get a total of $ 279 billion in all four - the amount Musk is on track to pass by the end of 2022.


We have found that with his current value of $ 249 billion, he is not only more important than each league - he is richer than three of them combined.


That means he can buy the NBA, NHL and MLB and be left with $ 82 billion.


Check out our accompanying drawings, and some interesting variations on how Musk piles up big, expensive and non-profit companies, here.
