Elon Musk used to be just a Pretoria boy, now he is the CEO of a whole host of companies. From effectively being the founder of what we know today as PayPal to being the current CEO of Tesla motors, heck, Elon is also CEO of mars travel pioneers SpaceX. Musk is now a multi-billionaire and one of the most successful billionaires out there, we’re not talking 3 or 4, Musk’s net worth currently stands at $13.9 billion.

Before spaceX and Tesla though Musk was already killing the game, in March if 1999 he started his company Xcom. Today we have access to banking apps on our phones, tap and go payments and of course original online banking.

Watch this video of Musk receiving his $1 million dollar McLaren F1 and listen carefully to how he talks about his ideas to change banking. We’re now 18 years since that point and Musk has gone from Internet banking to setting up a Colony on Mars, nothing short of incredible.
