With a net worth of about $237 billion as of September 9, 2024, on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Elon Musk is on course to become the first trillionaire on the planet by 2027, as per a report by Informa Connect Academy.

The Tesla founder is currently the richest man in the world, and his net worth, which is growing at an average annual rate of 109.88%, is on track to reach the $1 trillion mark in the next three years, according to the report.

The report titled ‘2024 Trillion Dollar Club’ highlights a list of thirty billionaires who are on the path of becoming trillionaires by approximately the mid-century; the report also puts a spotlight on companies with market valuations exceeding $1 trillion or approaching that milestone.

The study said, “No one in the world has claimed trillionaire status-at least not yet. However, there are some likely candidates. The following are multi-billionaires who will probably become trillionaires sooner or later.”

With a current net worth of $99.6 billion, which has been growing at an annual average rate of 122.86%, Gautam Adani is projected to become the second trillionaire in the world after Elon Musk in the next four years, i.e., by 2028, as per the report.

Gautam Adani, the founder and chairperson of the multinational conglomerate, Adani Group, is the second richest person in India and the 13th richest in the world.
