The Musk Foundation’s largest donations last year were $55 million to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and $54 million to the X Prize Foundation, according to Bloomberg.

The mystery recipient of a $5.7 billion donation Elon Musk made in 2021 has been revealed. The money went to Musk’s own charitable foundation, Bloomberg reported, citing a tax filing obtained by the outlet.

Musk, who lost his spot as the world’s richest person as of Monday, has an estimated net worth of $177.5 billion. In 2012, Musk signed the Giving Pledge, a public promise to give away most of his wealth either during his lifetime or in his will.
