Elon Musk - The Real-Life Tony Stark
Kicking off our list is the man who's making space travel cool again, Elon Musk. This guy's net worth is like the national debt of a small country. He's the CEO of SpaceX, Tesla, and he's even got a little company called Neuralink, where they're merging human brains with AI. No big deal, right?
