It's much harder to understand how rich Elon Musk is, because if he tried to sell even a small percentage of his Tesla shares, the value would evaporate. The revenue figures of these companies are more understandable because that is cold hard cash coming in the door

He actually sold a boatload of TSLA last year [1]. But yes, his wealth is not really expressible in USD.

If you tried to acquire a similar stake in TSLA, the price would shoot up and it would cost you more. If he tried to sell all his shares, it would plummet and he’d get less out.

Just recently I saw a headline about former Bezos wife selling $8B of Amazon stock. Does not seem to have affected the price all that much. She is probably going to have to pay $2B in taxes for that transaction.

Probably not since she donates all of it.
