But the future-focused argument made sense, and even Mike Majlak embraced the idea. ADVERTISEMENT But there is one feat that he is on the verge of achieving, and that will make him immortal in history books for centuries to come. And what is it? Being the first Trillionaire in history, something that Logan Paul pointed to. “I mean, numbers don’t lie,” Paul said. “He will very likely be the world’s first Trillionaire. That is f—— insane. One guy!” ADVERTISEMENT But before we say that ‘The Maverick’ is a 100% right, we have to take into consideration the fact that there is a catch when it comes to the massive claim about Elon Musk being the first ever trillionaire in history. As despite being worth $849 billion, making him the richest person alive and unambiguously ahead of other tech billionaires, he won’t be a complete trillionaire the way many fans would, including the former boxer-turned-WWE superstar, expect him to be. Paul’s Trillionaire claim comes with a caveat On the surface, Logan Paul’s Trillionaire talk seems to be simple: one man with one trillion dollars sounds unbelievable to say the least. However, the reality is far less straightforward. Yes, Elon Musk is currently valued at roughly $849 billion on paper, making him easily the richest person alive. However, that number isn’t sitting in a bank account. It is nearly entirely tied to ownership stakes in companies such as Tesla and SpaceX. ADVERTISEMENT In fact, Elon Musk has himself stated that just a small portion of his wealth is in liquid currency. That is where the catch comes in. Becoming the world’s first Trillionaire would most likely happen “on paper” first, which means that his company valuations would have to grow significantly enough to push his net worth beyond $1 trillion.
