Elon Musk might be the richest person in the world, but he apparently leads a very humble life. Well, that's according to his on-again, off-again partner Grimes.?
In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, musician Grimes said that the tech billionaire is very much a minimalist man, and sometimes lives "below the poverty line."?
"Bro does not live like a billionaire. Bro lives at times below the poverty line," Grimes told the outlet.?
"To the point where I was like, can we not live in a very insecure $40,000 house? Where the neighbors, like, film us, and there's no security, and I'm eating peanut butter for eight days in a row?" she said.?
She added that Musk ¡®wouldn¡¯t even get a new mattress¡¯ because he didn't want to splash out. Ok, this one is hard to believe.?
In the interview, she also revealed that she has a second child with Musk. The baby, Exa Dark Sider?l Musk (also known by the nicknames "Y" and "Sailor Mars"), was born via surrogate, as per the report.?
In May 2020, Musk said he was downsizing his life and would be selling off his lavish assets and is now living in a small home. He is currently believed to be living in a $50,000 tiny prefab home, which he rents from SpaceX.?
Grimes also told Vanity Fair about how dating the richest person in the world made her feel "trapped between two worlds."?
"I mean, when people say I'm a class traitor that is not an inaccurate description," she said, per the outlet. "I was deeply from the far left and I converted to being essentially a capitalist Democrat. A lot of people are understandably upset."?
In September last year, it was reported that Musk and Grimes had broken up after three years of dating. The billionaire has recently been spotted with Australian actress Natasha Bassett.
