Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, is apparently going big at home, too—he’s reportedly building a massive 14,400-square-foot mansion designed to bring his large family closer together.
Musk wants a space where his 11 kids, along with two of their three mothers, can live nearby, letting the younger siblings grow up together and giving Musk more time with his family.
A few days ago, news outlets from other countries said that investor and businessman Elon Musk wants all of his children and their mothers to live together in some way.
The man who owns Tesla and SpaceX has 11 kids from three different women. The New York Times said last week that Musk wants to move his whole family into three mansions in Austin, Texas, that are next to each other.
The singer Claire Boucher, better known as Grimes, who Musk is married to and has three kids with, however, is against his plans. They have been fighting over who gets to keep their kids. People magazine says that Grimes wants an extra mansion, maybe in Los Angeles, so that all of Musk’s ex-partners and their kids can live together, as reported by The Bytes.
This sprawling setup doesn’t come cheap. With multiple properties totalling around $35 million, the compound includes a six-bedroom mansion just a 10-minute walk from the main villa, where Musk often stays.
Let’s break it down:
– Justine Musk: Musk’s first wife, with whom he had six children. Their first child, Nevada, tragically passed away as an infant, and they later welcomed twins Griffin and Vivian and triplets Saxon, Damian, and Kai.
– Talulah Riley: Actress Talulah Riley, Musk’s second wife, married and divorced him twice. Their relationship ultimately ended, partly due to her focus on her career.
– Claire Boucher (Grimes): Musk and Boucher had their first child, the famously named X Æ A-Xii, in 2020. They later expanded their family.
– Shivon Zilis: Musk also has children with Zilis, who currently lives in Austin and is sometimes spotted at local events. Musk confirmed in June 2023 that they have a third child together.
