    Exactly. The three richest people in the world:

    Elon Musk. Net worth ~$248 billion.
    Owns ~13% of Tesla, which is worth ~$768 billion. That’s ~$99 billion in his net worth.
    Owns ~48% of SpaceX, which is worth ~$150 billion. That’s ~$72 billion in his net worth.
    That means at least ~$171 billion of his net worth is in companies, which is ~69% of his wealth.

    Bernard Arnault. Net worth ~$207 billion.
    Owns ~41% of LVMH, which is worth ~$422 billion. That’s ~$175 billion in his net worth.
    That means at least ~85% of his wealth is in companies.

    Jeff Bezos. Net worth ~$161 billion.
    Owns ~10% of Amazon, which is worth ~$1430 billion. That’s ~$143 billion in his net worth.
    That means at least ~89% of his wealth is in companies.

        Tesla probably has a lot more customers, and if memory serves, they also make money by deals with other car companies, where Tesla’s lack of emissions offsets their excess of emissions for government regulations.
