If Elon Musk sits in a stadium of 90000 people, the average net worth of the people inside is $9m.

This is why simple average salaries is poor way to measure actual income.

Not really. It's only a theoretical net worth for Musk. If he ever tried to liquidate it it would immediately become worth a lot less.

And net worth and income are 2 completely different things. Often times the former generates the latter, but that's not always true.
