Article excerpt

The piece walks through 35 spending categories, from housing and healthcare to space exploration and luxury goods, to give readers a tangible sense of scale. It's less about Musk himself and more about converting an almost incomprehensible number into concrete purchases and real-world comparisons. The exercise underscores the sheer magnitude of concentrated wealth in a single person's hands.
