Elon Musk On Track To Become World’s First Trillionaire

Sep 9 2024

Twitter and Tesla owner, Elon Musk, is on track to become the world’s first ever trillionaire, according to a new report made by Informa Connect Academy, a group which tracks people’s wealth.

The report revealed that the South African’s wealth has been growing in a rapid annual rate of 110%. This would mean that at this rate his wealth will more than double every passing year.

According to the Bloomberg Billionaire Index, Musk is currently the richest person in the world with a reported net worth of $251bn.

The academy’s analysis predicted that Gautam Adani, the founder of an Indian business conglomerate, could become the second person to achieve trillionaire status by 2028, assuming his annual growth rate of 123% continues.

Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, and Prajogo Pangestu, an Indonesian energy and mining tycoon, are also projected to reach trillionaire status in 2028 if their current trajectories persist.

Bernard Arnault, head of LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton and currently the world’s third-richest person with approximately $200 billion, is expected to surpass the trillion-dollar mark by 2030, alongside Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg.

There are several companies that have exceeded the $1 trillion mark, but no singular person’s net worth has reached that mark yet.

Boss Allegedly Asks Foreign Employee To Find Someone To Kill His Wife

Sep 9 2024

According to a former foreign employee under oath, a Maltese business owner asked him to find a hitman to murder the boss’ estranged wife.

The employee stated that his boss was willing to pay thousands in order to have someone enter his wife’s home and strangle her whilst sleeping.

He also revealed that the business owner installed camera equipment outside and inside his former wife’s apartment to monitor and spy on her moves and all her conversations.

The details from this court case was revealed by Times of Malta, from a number of court documents accessed by the Times of Malta.

The worker, a skilled tradesman, was initially hired by a Maltese family business in southern Malta at the end of 2017.

He testified in court that his employer had approached him with a request to help arrange the murder of his wife, after discovering that the worker’s brother was in prison in their home country.

The Maltese man allegedly believed this connection would allow the worker to find a hitman.

“He assumed I could easily find someone to kill his wife because of my brother’s situation… He even drew a plan outlining how the murder should be carried out,” the worker stated.

The boss allegedly promised his employee a €10,000 reward to facilitate the murder of his former wife, however despite the pressure the employee never went through with the proposition and instead provided these plans and discussions held with his boss to the police.
