  "account": "Elon Musk, once the world's first trillionaire, is no longer at that level, but his wealth remains remarkably substantial. As of 2026, he is worth $873 billion, up $254 billion from the previous year, according to Bloomberg data. This wealth is predominantly from equity stakes in Tesla Inc, SpaceX, and other ventures. Despite his current wealth, Musk could still afford to give every person on Earth $69.420 and still retain a net worth of over $296 billion, thus staying as the richest person in the world. The comparison is made with the total global population of approximately 8.3 billion people. This figure is a testament to Musk's financial standing, even more so given his history of being known for his use of the 69 and 420 memes.",
