You knew that Elon Musk would top the list of the 10 highest paid CEOs in the world in 2019. Whether you love him or hate him, and there’s no in-between, the Internet’s messiah has just earned 2.2 billion dollars in the previous year, a figure any other CEO would kill to have. He is the CEO of Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA), an automotive and energy company focused on developing high performance, fuel efficient cars. In 2018, Tesla ranked as the best selling plug-in cars manufacturer, and there is no doubting that Musk’s vision will take them even further, despite the numerous public problems they have been facing.
