Remember Elon Musk?

No, not the disemploymentator. The high-tech industrial genius who was born in South Africa and immigrated to Canada in 1989. There, he attended Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario, for two years before transferring to the University of Pennsylvania. At Penn, he received a Bachelor of Arts in physics and a Bachelor of Science in economics from the Wharton School.

Since then, he has been busy amassing money. Even before he was granted his degrees, he co-founded a software company, called Zip2. He sold that in 1999 and co-founded X.com, an online payment company. Later that company merged to form PayPal. Then in 2002, he founded SpaceX, and became its CEO. In 2008, he became CEO and Chief Engineer of Tesla.
