We're launching a new monthly series and we'll be doing financial autopsy on some of the most successful people in the world. And who better to start with then the richest person in the world, Elon Musk! Elon Musk didn't build his fortune by playing it safe. On today's episode, Darren and Christina break down how Elon Musk built his wealth, where he took massive risks, and what entrepreneurs, business owners, and everyday investors can learn from his approach. They discuss how Musk concentrated his capital, reinvested relentlessly, maintained ownership, borrowed against assets instead of selling them, and stayed on the compounding curve for decades. Whether you love him or hate him, there are major wealth-building lessons to learn from the world's richest man.
