Boring Company - $5.7bn
When some Indonesian kids were trapped under a cave and were threatened by flood, Elon Musk offered to use his then little-known company, the Boring Company, to rescue the kids.
The company sprang into the limelight at that critical point in time.
According to reports, the Boring Company is an American infrastructure and tunnel construction services company founded by Elon Musk.
Its ongoing and proposed projects are designed for intra-city transit systems. TBC completed two tunnels in Las Vegas for loop travel. It also completed one tunnel for testing in Los Angeles County.
Musk's share in the company is 90 per cent, and the market cap is estimated to be $5.7 billion.
It is not yet clear how Musks has made from TBC, but it has notched up enough reputation to be patronised by the US government.
SpaceX -$100.5bn
The space exploration company known as SpaceX is one the most known companies belonging to the maverick billionaire.
The company was used by NASA recently to send supplies to the space station and is also popular with the United States government.
Musk plans to use the company for his doomsday prediction when he builds over 1,000 spaceships to evacuate humans to space when destruction occurs.
SpaceX is currently worth about $100.5 billion in market capitalisation, and Musk's shareholding in the company is 44 per cent.
Starlink - $30bn
The internet Satellite company, which obtained a license to operate in Nigeria and other African countries, also belongs to the American billionaire.

Elon Musk announced that the company would provide free internet access to Ukrainians after Putin's army took down internet structures in Ukraine.
The internet company is not currently quoted on the stock market, so there is no record of Elon Musk's shareholding.
Neuralink - $3 billion
Neuralink Corporation is a neurotechnology company that develops implantable brain-machine interfaces. Co-founded by Elon Musk, Max Hodak and Paul Merolla, the company's headquarters is in the Pioneer Building in San Francisco.

The company's market cap is estimated at $3 billion, and there are no known records of how many shares Musk owns in the company.
