The map above shows which countries have less household wealth than Elon Musk’s fortune of $447 Billion (at the time of publication).
That means there are now only 55 countries on earth with more wealth than he has.
Now this is a measure of total household wealth only, UBS and Credit Suisse report published in 2023 for the year 2022.
And unlike many other similar maps it is not comparing Musk’s net worth to countries based on GDP, but an actual wealth so is as much a like for like comparison as is possible.
Here’s where he would sit as a country:

Y.D. Robinson says
If Argentina and Uruguay had fulfilled each of its economic potential and had remained quite wealthy like they were in the early 20th century, then certainly Argentina (and quite possibly also Uruguay) wouldn’t be marked red on the map.
