Musk shares nine children between three partners, but also dated Aquaman star and Johnny Depp’s ex Amber Heard, Talulah Riley and currently, Elvis’ Natasha Bassett

The SpaceX founder – and would-be Twitter owner no longer – is the richest man in the world, but his baby mamas have millions in the bank too

It was recently revealed that Elon Musk, 51, the man with an estimated net worth of nearly US$240 billion, has nine children. The number was previously thought to be seven, until it was unexpectedly unveiled that a Neuralink employee also had twins with Musk. The Tesla CEO has previously said he is doing his part to “boost” the US population after its birth rate saw a downward trend.

Musk has also dated Aquaman star and Johnny Depp’s ex Amber Heard, actress Talulah Riley and, currently, Elvis’ Natasha Bassett, although he doesn’t have kids with them (yet?).

So, the richest man in the world currently has kids from three different partners – but not all of them want anything to do with him. But who exactly are his baby mamas and how does their current wealth compare?

Oh, and they have one thing in common, besides sharing kids with Musk: they are all Canadian.

Shivon Zilis grabbed global headlines last week – not for her incredible brain that is widely respected in the artificial intelligence community, but for her relationship with the SpaceX CEO. Business Insider revealed the couple welcomed twins in November last year. Zilis is a proud Canadian who loves ice hockey and tech. According to her website, she graduated from Yale and is a fellow at the Creative Destruction Lab. The Washington Post reported she is on the board of OpenAI, a research organisation Musk co-founded. She is currently the director of operations and special projects at Neuralink.

The SpaceX boss co-founded Neuralink, which shares an office with OpenAI. But details about the pair’s personal relationship are not known. The world found out the couple had twins together after legal documents to change the children’s surname to that of Musk were leaked.

According to HITC, Zilis has had an impressive career in machine learning and was on the Forbes’ 30 under 30 list in 2015 as the founding member of Bloomberg Beta. She was reportedly based in San Francisco before moving to Austin about three months before the twins were born. The Tesla and SpaceX headquarters are also in Austin, Texas.
