Elon Musk has often remarked about the upcoming population crisis. He has even warned that “civilization will disappear” if fertility rates don’t go up.
Musk has certainly done his part to curb population declines. He’s the father of 14 children, spread across several partners. It’s easier to raise a large family with Musk’s wealth, but research from the Institute for Family Studies (IFS) crystalizes how much it costs to have 14 children. Here’s what you should know if you want to lead a large family or are curious about how much it costs to raise one.
