Things You Could Do With Elon Musk’s $400 Billion Fortune
Elon Musk has made history, becoming the first person ever to amass a staggering $400 billion fortune. With his ownership of Tesla, SpaceX, and X, Musk’s wealth continues to grow, adding a jaw-dropping $62.8 billion in just one day. But what does $400 billion really mean? We’ve broken down Musk’s monumental fortune with the help of ChatGPT to show you just how much you could do with this unimaginable sum. Ready to see what a fortune of this size can buy? Let’s dive in!
Elon Musk Continues to Grow His Fortune: Tesla, SpaceX, and X
Elon Musk, the world-renowned entrepreneur who supported Donald Trump in the US elections, has seen his wealth increase significantly after the elections concluded. Recently, Musk made a stock sale in his private company, SpaceX, and Tesla's shares reached an all-time high.
Elon Musk has become the first person in history to amass a fortune of $400 billion.
To mark this moment, we visualized it with the help of X’s new AI program, Grok.
So, how much space would $400 billion take up physically?
This is an important question to help us understand the sheer scale of Musk's wealth! To store the entire $400 billion using the largest banknote, $100 bills, here's how ChatGPT calculated it:
For $400 billion, we would first need 4 billion banknotes.
Considering the size of a $100 bill, the total volume of 4 billion banknotes is calculated as:
4,000,000,000 x 1.0296 cm³ = 4,118,400,000 cm³ (approximately 4.12 million liters).
In cubic meters, this equals:
4,118,400,000 cm³ ÷ 1,000,000 = 4,118.4 m³.
If you wanted to store this money in stacks:
One stack: 100 bills = $10,000 = 1 cm thickness.
Total number of stacks: 4 billion ÷ 100 = 40 million stacks.
If stacked neatly on top of each other:
Height of one column:
40 million x 0.01 cm = 400,000 meters (400 km).
If laid out horizontally, you would need a space 4,118 meters long for a shelf that’s 1 meter wide.
In conclusion:
The total volume of $400 billion would occupy 4,118.4 m³ (about 1.65 times the volume of an Olympic swimming pool).
You’d need 62 standard containers or a 4,118 m² space (if stored in 1-meter-high shelves).

What could you do with $400 billion?
Build a private mega-city
Example: Saudi Arabia's NEOM project ($500 billion).
What could be done? A completely sustainable, AI-powered, ultra-luxury city could be built. Everything could be designed from scratch: flying cars, smart buildings, self-sustaining energy systems.
Create your own space agency
NASA's annual budget is only $25 billion!
Multiple private space companies like SpaceX could be established, and human colonies on the Moon or Mars could be funded.
Purchase land globally
- You could buy part of the Hawaiian Islands.
End world hunger
- According to the UN's estimate, this would cost around $330 billion annually.
Build a country named after yourself
How long would it take to spend $400 billion?
Assuming the average human lifespan is 80 years, to spend $400 billion, you’d need to spend $13.7 million daily. But don’t worry about running out of money—spending $5 billion annually would be enough. To do so, you would need to spend $416 million monthly or an average of $13.7 million daily.
