What happens when a fake billionaire meets a real one? In Iron Man 2, Tony Stark, the fictional genius billionaire, crosses paths with Elon Musk in a quick cameo. The two chat about the idea of an electric jet, and for a moment the line between movie and reality disappears. The make-believe version of "inventor billionaire" is standing next to the real thing. Tony Stark's wealth was handed to him. He inherited Stark Industries from his father and ran it as a weapons empire, powered by his own engineering genius. The fortune was already there. He just took it further. Elon Musk's story is the opposite. He co-founded Zip2 and sold it for hundreds of millions. He then built X.com, which became PayPal, and walked away with a fortune when eBay bought it. Instead of cashing out and relaxing, he put nearly everything into SpaceX and Tesla, two companies most people thought would fail. One billionaire started with a head start. The other started with a risk. Media: Iron Man 2 Follow @worldofceo.s to learn more about business and success and sharpen your mindset every day. #billionaire #business #money #success #wealth
