Personal Life

Justine married entrepreneur Elon Musk who founded of Tesla and SpaceX. They met while they were attending Queen’s University in Ontario, and were college sweethearts.

Justine in an interview once stated that Elon was nothing like the man she has always dreamed of to be with. But, the fact that Elon was not a man who would take no for an answer made Justine fall for him.

After her college when Justine moved to Japan as an ESL teacher, they parted ways. However soon after coming back to Canada, they again started dating again and finally got married in January 2000.

Justine and Elon had their first child, Nevada, in 2002. Unfortunately, Nevada died merely at the tender age of only 10 weeks by getting arrested with an Infant Death Syndrome.

In 2004, Justine gave birth to twin boys with the help of IVF,  who are named Xavier and Griffin. And later on, Justine gave birth to triplets Kai, Damion, and Saxon in 2006.

Justine and Elon’s divorced created much frenzy in the media. Justine got $2 million in cash, all her children’s custody with child support for 17 years, Tesla Roadster and a monthly alimony of $80,000 after the divorce settlement.

Justine wrote an article, after her divorce, for Marie Claire magazine about her relationship with Elon Musk. She came upfront about her marriage and how  Elon treated her like a Trophy Wife and nothing else.  She said that Elon would often tell her “If you were my employee, I would fire you.” She also claimed that her marriage suffered due to the vast economic imbalance between the two of them. Justine blamed Elon’s dominating nature which according to her comes from his growing up in South Africa, which is mostly a male-dominated country. She further said that it was this dominating nature of Elon that helped him on his path to success, but this same nature created the tiffs between the two of them.

Justine was accused many times of squeezing money out of Elon, but she always dealt with all the accusations very maturely. And each time she took the help of her blog to deal with all of this.

Justine’s net worth as of 2016, was estimated to be $1.5 million.

Although Elon soon started dating after their divorce, not much is known about Justine’s present dating life. She is either doing a very good job at keeping the media at the bay of from her personal life, or she is probably still single.

Justine lives in Los Angeles with her five sons currently.
