Most of us will agree 2020, was the worst possible year in last half a century or, at least the worst year of the twenty first century but the case was drastically different for Elon Musk. Internet's favourite "innovator" Elon Musk never had a better year than 2020.

At the start of the year Elon started from his personal net worth of 27.5 Billion USD. Now the Tesla CEO is second most richest person in the world behind Jeff Bezos with personal net worth of more than 147 Billion USD. He has had increase of $120Billion in the period.

​​​​​​Elon Musk has been a Corona Virus denier, urging people to go to work since very early of the pandemic. He has even said COVID-19 as a type of cold. Saying he has "most-likey" got COVID, he twitted on November,"Am getting wildly different results from different labs, but most likely I have a moderate case of covid. My symptoms are that of a minor cold, which is no surprise, since a coronavirus is a type of cold."

However, Elon was quick to pay cut wage from his employees reasoning the pandemic. His worth really started to grow since he announced pay cut of 10-40% from his worker. His worth almost trebled to 90 million after the pay cut. From then, his net worth has always been growing.

Elon is however not the only billionare to benifit from the pandemic. The net-worth of richest persons have only been increasing, but Elon's increase in net worth have only been outstanding to others'.
