Billionaires Gates and Buffett would not be far behind Mr. Musk on the wealth rankings if not for their philanthropic activities. These two men have donated tens of billions of dollars to charity activities over the years. Meanwhile, Mr. Musk was criticized for not contributing more despite owning huge assets.
Tesla’s boss once said he liked to be anonymous when doing charity work. Earlier this year, billionaire Musk also asked Twitter users how to donate money. He has pledged to give away $150 million, including a $100 million prize in a carbon removal contest, this year. This number is estimated by Recode to be more than all of his previous charitable donations.
