45+ Former and Current Wives and Girlfriends of the World’s Richest Billionaires

Associated With: Elon Musk
Company: Tesla

Elon Musk is undoubtedly an eccentric genius – one with an equally exotic taste in relationships. In 2018, the SpaceX creator went public with his on-again, off-again relationship with quirky musician Grimes, who has a cult following of her own.

Grimes isn’t your average pop star, and she often thinks outside of the box when it comes to her music and art. That being said, it’s not hard to see why the two hit it off. They welcomed their first child together in 2020, a baby boy that they controversially named X Æ A-12. X is Musk’s seventh child. Since then, they have had two more kids, Exa Dark Siderael and Techno Mechanicus.

Back in the ‘00s, Lily Cole was a prominent face as one of Britain’s most successful models. She first started in the industry as a 13-year-old, believe it or not. Photographers were taken by her wide-set eyes and vibrant red hair. By 2004, she was named Model of the Year. Over the course of her career, Cole walked runways for many top designers.

She moved on to acting before focusing on her philanthropic endeavors and founding her own company, Impossible. She and billionaire Kwame Ferreira have been going strong since 2012. Ferreira even moved to make Kwamecorp a part of the Impossible brand, merging the couple’s successful projects under one name.

In her fans’ eyes, Emma Watson will always live a magical life thanks to her role as Hermione Granger in the Warner Bros.’ Harry Potter franchise. With a net worth of $80 million, she’s as financially independent as they come, though has had her fair share of high-profile relationships before declaring herself “self-coupled”.

From 2015 to 2017, Watson dated Medallia Professional Services executive William Mack Knight. Though at first, there might have seemed to be a large age gap, the strong-willed and highly intelligent Watson was likely a good match for the tech giant.

Girls star Allison Williams wasn’t always lucky in love in the hit HBO series, but she seemingly had the perfect marriage to CollegeHumor and Vimeo founder Ricky Van Veen. The pair said their “I do’s’” in a lavish ceremony officiated by Tom Hanks in 2015 after meeting at a Bachelor viewing party.

Before dating musician Grimes, Elon Musk was famously (or should we say infamously) married to British actress Talulah Riley. Riley has appeared in many movies including Pride & Prejudice, St. Trinian’s, The Boat That Rocked, and many more successful hits.

Riley first started dating Musk in 2008 before the two got married in 2010. They then split in 2012, reconciled, and remarried in 2013 again before separating another time. Sometimes love can, indeed, be as crazy as a roller coaster – or in Musk’s case, a rocket ship.
