**Austin, Texas** – Billionaire Elon Musk has reportedly purchased a sprawling compound in Austin, Texas, for his 11 children and two of their mothers. The Tuscan-style mansion, spanning 14,400 square feet, cost an estimated $35 million, including an adjacent six-bedroom mansion.
According to The New York Times, Musk intends for his children and their mothers, Justine Wilson and Claire Boucher (Grimes), to live on the property, allowing his younger children to be close to one another and making it easier for him to spend time with them. The compound is a short walk from Musk’s usual residence in Austin.
Musk, known for his ambitious ventures in technology and space exploration, has fathered 12 children with three partners. His first wife, Justine Wilson, is the mother of six children, while Grimes is the mother of three, and Shivon Zilis, a project director for one of Musk’s companies, has given birth to three children with him.
Reports suggest that Zilis and her children have already moved into the Austin compound, and Wilson and her children are expected to follow suit.
The purchase comes amidst reports of a strained relationship between Musk and Grimes, involving a custody battle over their children. NBC News reported that Musk had allegedly restricted Grimes’ access to their children.
This significant investment in property for his family highlights Musk’s commitment to his children’s wellbeing and a potential shift in priorities for the world’s richest man.
