Star’s Net Worth: $183 billion*
Annual Protection Cost: $1-$5 million*
Elon Musk has a net worth of nearly $200 billion. For a time, he even overtook Jeff Bezos when it came to being the richest man in America. The Tesla founder isn’t only wealthy; he’s also very outspoken on social media. His wealth and opinionated nature make him an easy target for people wishing him harm.

As you might expect, the billionaire has an entire team of bodyguards, numbering anywhere from 6-10 at any given time. As Business Insider said, he’s one of Silicon Valley’s most “bombastic and divisive” personalities. It’s unclear whether Musk pays out of pocket for security, or if Tesla foots the bill.
