It is an amazing story. There are several biographies of Musk which go into a lot of detail how he did it.

None of his wealth was transferred to him.

> None of his wealth was transferred to him.

Mr Musk's move to the USA was funded by his father, and his first company was started with a loan from his father. The advantages of the family running an undocumented emerald mine in Zambia.

Not 'inherited wealth' I concede, but still not something available to Average Joe.
