It seems like billionaires are everywhere nowadays. Some of them have made it to our former and future President Donald Trump’s cabinet, administration, and shadow inner circle of sorts; some of them are worth much more on paper than he is, but it’s the company you keep, after all.
We might as well start with the world’s richest man: Elon Musk, who spent more than a quarter of a billion dollars backing Trump and was tapped to cochair a nongovernmental advisory body. Oh, and Musk’s partner in it all? Vivek Ramaswamy, a former Republican primary presidential candidate before he dropped out and endorsed Trump. The Bloomberg Billionaires Index puts Musk’s total net worth at $362 billion, and counting. His cochair’s is much less, reportedly $1 billion, per research from Axios and Americans for Tax Fairness. These two men are not cabinet members; they are nongovernment appointees, but Trump appointees nonetheless.
