How much did musk inherit? All I know is from the Ashley Vance book - he started zip2 in poverty then rolled that into x.com.


A couple thousand when he left South Africa for Canada as a teenager. And then about $20,000 (10% of a $200,000 seed round) when starting Zip2. That's the extent of money given to him by his parents that wasn't spent for him during when he was being reared as a child.


How do you inherit money from a dead father who is still alive?

What a brain-buster!
