They run billion-dollar companies, but what do Apple CEO Tim Cook, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Tesla, SpaceX and X CEO Elon Musk actually do in their free time? Krone+ about the hobbies of the tech moguls.

Elon Musk
The richest of the tech heavyweights is Elon Musk. With an estimated fortune of 195 billion US dollars, he is currently number two on the Forbes list of the super-rich behind Frenchman Bernard Arnault (233 billion dollars) and, albeit only just, ahead of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos (194 billion dollars).
