      I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s actually someone else who’s been able to hide how truly wealthy they are.

      Eg. the former British queen and the royals used judicial decrees and their opaque influence to secretely alter laws, in order to hide how rich they actually are. Guardian

      Officially, it’s Elon Musk. Realistically, yes. It is someone who basically owns their own country like the king of Saudi Arabia or Sultan of Oman or something.
