Without going very far, Elon Musk, founder of important companies such as Tesla Motors, SpaceX, Neuralink, OpenAI, The Boring Company, Zip2, X.com, Musk Foundation, among others, and who acquired the social network, is one of the most followed and, of course, the richest. By the beginning of this year, Musk has 127.3 million followers. When speaking of his fortune, the businessman and investor has a net worth of US$166 billion, according to Bloomberg indices.
In the list of the most followed, Musk is only surpassed by the former president of the United States, Barack Obama, who has a total of 133.54 million followers. However, the ex-president falls short of the tycoon’s assets, Barack Obama’s Net worth is estimated to be around $70 million.
But when it comes to high net worth, artist Rihanna occupies a significant box. Although well below Musk, the singer has a figure of US$1.7 billion, one of the highest in the music industry, according to Celebrity Net Worth. The Barbadian artist has been confirmed to perform at the 2023 Super Bowl halftime show , a performance for which she could charge more than US$700,000, according to Degy Entertainment.
Another of the celebrities who has not only a high number of followers on Twitter (107.52 million), but also a high net worth is Cristiano Ronaldo. In the coffers of the Portuguese soccer player, according to Celebrity Net Worth, there are more than US$700 million. The former Real Madrid and Manchester United soccer player recently arrived in Saudi Arabia, signed by Al Nassr for a contract that does not fall below US$429.5 million a year. In fact, this remuneration will have two parts, since he will receive US$214.8 million for his two-year contract with the Arab team and another US$214 million for being ambassador of the candidacy of Saudi Arabia, Greece and Egypt for the 2030 World Cup.
The music industry is once again relevant. In this case, Taylor Swift , who has 92.47 million followers on Twitter, also represents one of the great fortunes in the music world. The American singer-songwriter has a net worth of US$400 million. Last Friday, the artist released the official video for her song Lavender Haze, which, so far, has more than seven million views.
