In 2020, Elon Musk wrote on X that he was selling "almost all physical possessions," adding that he would no longer own a house.

The SpaceX CEO and billionaire, originally from South Africa, amassed quite a real-estate portfolio in California in a short amount of time. There was even a time when he owned multiple houses in the same neighborhood.

Musk was living like you might expect one of the richest people in the world to live, with multimillion-dollar mansions and amenities like pools and tennis courts at his disposal.
