According to Forbes, the Tesla CEO’s net worth is about 224.2 billion U.S. dollars What else could Elon Musk buy with his $56B stock options package? Ford’s market cap is $49B, so he could execute a hostile takeover of Ford. If he were feeling particularly generous, Elon could buy four Costco hotdog and drink combos for every human on Earth.

If Elon were to hire General Motors CEO Mary Barra to be his personal assistant, he could use this $56B package to match what GM pays her, $27.8M, and have her on retainer until the year 4038. Auction site Bring A Trailer sold just over 30,000 cars last year for a total of just about $1.4B. Elon’s pay package would see him the high bidder on every single car on BAT for the next 40 years.
