So. Let’s talk about Elon Musk. It’s no secret that this guy is pretty wealthy. In fact, as of November 2021, he’s the richest person in the world. According to Forbes, he currently has a net worth of $305 billion. Excuse us while we eat crackers for lunch for the fourth day running.
What’s a little less well-known, however, is where he chooses to live. Musk prefers to spend his downtime in a prefab tiny house worth under $50,000, which he rents from his company SpaceX, according to Musk’s Twitter. The home, which is located near SpaceX’s operations site in Boca Chica, Texas, is a tiny house built by Las Vegas-based company Boxabl (via Business Insider). At just 375 square feet in size, this has to be the most extreme net-worth-to-house-size ratio out there.
We can understand why Musk would choose to live in this particular tiny home, though. The house, which is dubbed the “Casita,” is designed with both space and aesthetics in mind. The home supplies a generously-sized kitchen, living space, and a sleeping area in its open-plan design, and has a cute little separate bathroom. It’s for sure a bit of a weird choice by Musk, but we mean, he’s never exactly been predictable, right?
