Elon Musk is on pace to become world's first trillionaire — and sooner than you think

Not only is Elon Musk estimated to be worth $1 trillion in the near future, but so is Tesla.

According to a new report, Elon Musk is on pace to become the world's first trillionaire soon.

Musk currently has a net worth of $248 billion, according to Forbes' wealthiest billionaires list. However, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO will reportedly quadruple his net worth in three short years.

Tesla has an annual growth rate of 173%, which would enable the electric car manufacturer to become a trillion-dollar company in 2025.

Musk — already the world's wealthiest person — is the "clear favorite" to become the first trillionaire by 2027, according to Informa Connect Academy.

The outlet noted that Musk's net worth is growing at an average rate of 109.88% yearly.

Informa Connect Academy also named other billionaires who are likely to have a 13-figure net worth in the near future.

Indian billionaire business magnate Gautam Adani has an estimated net worth of $84 billion and an average annual growth rate of 122.86%. Adani is expected to become a trillionaire by 2028.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has an approximate net worth of $77 billion and an average growth rate of 111.88% per year. Huang is estimated to become a trillionaire in 2028.

Prajogo Pangestu is an Indonesian business tycoon known for his involvement in the timber, petrochemical, and energy industries. He has a net worth of $43.4 billion and an average growth rate of 135.95% annually. Pangestu is expected to be a trillionaire by 2028.

Other notable billionaires are expected to become trillionaires.

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos — currently the second-richest person in the world with a net worth of $197 billion — will reportedly become a trillionaire in 2036.

Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison — currently the third-wealthiest person in the world with a net worth of $192 billion — could become a trillionaire by 2035.

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates — who has a current net worth of $136 billion — is estimated to become a trillionaire by 2054.
