Elon Musk started Zip2 with money from his father before he found PayPal. PayPal was eventually acquired by PayPal was acquired by eBay for US$1.5 billion in stock, of which US$165 million was given to Musk.

There is probably no other Billionaire whose vision and mission is about securing the future of humanity.
Elon Musk after selling his previous company PayPal for 300 million dollars invested all of it into three companies which aim to save humanity. His ultimate goals include reducing global warming through sustainable energy production and consumption; as well as reducing the chance of human extinction by setting up a human colony on Mars. The three companies he invested post selling PayPal was Tesla, Space X & Solar-city. Preceding the success of these companies were breaking point situations which were turned around.

Tesla Motors
Through Tesla motors, Elon Musk envisions the world where electric cars could be made affordable to the average customer. Through this, he intends to reduce the carbon footprint of the human race and save the world from the catastrophic effects of Global warming. Tesla Motors designs, manufactures, and sells luxury electric cars, electric vehicle powertrain components, and battery products. Tesla was on the verge of bankruptcy during the time of Global Financial crisis until Musk himself pulled the act together and made its first profits in 2013 before listing it on the NASDAQ stock exchange.
