Recently, the news that billionaire Elon Musk has two more children with a senior leader of Neuralink has made many people interested, especially when the Tesla CEO is having up to 7 other children.
Thus, billionaire Elon Musk, the richest person in the world, currently has 9 children with three women. In fact, Elon Musk had 10 children, but one of them, unfortunately, passed away when he was only 10 weeks old.
However, based on Forbes' analysis of more than 700 US billionaires, it seems that Elon Musk's assessment is wrong. According to Statista, the super-rich has an average of 2.3 children, higher than the average of 1.93 children in the average American family. If only billionaires are considered, they have an average of 3.1 children.
Elon Musk is also not the only billionaire with many children. According to Forbes, there are 22 US billionaires with seven or more children, including film director Steven Spielberg and New York Mets owner Steve Cohen.
Even, it's not just men who have many children. America's richest self-made female billionaire, Diane Hendricks has seven children, like Litte Ceasers Pizza co-founder Marian Ilitch.
The billionaire with the most children is Suhail Bahwan of Oman, with 15 children. In the US, the title of a billionaire with the most children goes to the richest man in Idaho, Frank VanderSloot, founder and CEO of Melaleuca, an online retailer and manufacturer of 450 healthcare products and father of 14 children. “Being a parent is the most important thing in life. It's also the most rewarding thing," according to VanderSloot's share.
Here is a specific list of billionaires with the most children, according to statistics from Forbes
Why do rich people like Elon Musk like to have many children?
Over the years, Elon Musk has been known for promoting increased birth rates. He even said that "civilization will collapse" if people don't have more children.
The 51-year-old billionaire once declared himself a special case in the rich world when most of the rich people he knew had no or only one child. "Contrary to popular belief that the richer people have fewer children, I am the rare exception," he wrote on Twitter at the end of May.
The tech billionaire said the low and rapidly falling birth rate is "one of the biggest risks to civilization".
His comments come as more and more people are deciding not to have children citing concerns about climate change and inequality. Elon Musk added that too many "good, smart people" mistakenly believe the population is growing out of control.
"In fact, this is quite the opposite. If people don't have more children, civilization will collapse. Remember my words," Tesla boss emphasized.
When asked if this is the reason he has so many children, the billionaire said he is trying to set an example and at the same time to do what he claims to be.
In an event attended by hundreds of Alibaba employees in May 2019, the Chinese billionaire declared: "The first KPI of marriage is to have a result, there must be a product. What is a product? It's the children."
According to Jack Ma, children are a better "investment" than buying a house. "Marriage is not for the purpose of accumulating wealth, not for buying a house, buying a car, but for having children together. Always remember that everything can be someone else's, can be fake. Only children. the new is the real thing. Let's have more children!".
