MEET THE FIRST PASSENGER TO GO ON A TRIP TO MOON

Elon Musk on Monday announced that SpaceX’s first paying passenger will be Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa, who is to blast off from the earth in 2023, circle the moon and return. The price for taking the trip hasn't been disclosed to the media as yet.
 

Maezawa, an art collector, has planned to invite six to eight artists to participate in the lunar voyage as a way of inspiring their work.
 

Maezawa is a 42-year-old former rock drummer; amassed a $3 billion fortune selling imported records and trendy clothes through his online fashion conglomerate, now part of a company called Zozotown.
