The world’s wealthiest person, Elon Musk, recently celebrated his 55th birthday in the company of close family and friends. Photos from the intimate gathering were shared by his mother, model and author Maye Musk.

In the images, the Tesla and SpaceX founder can be seen blowing out the candles on a unique space-themed birthday cake. The festive dessert was designed to resemble a rocket and a lunar base – symbols of some of the billionaire’s most iconic ventures.

Maye Musk also shared a heartfelt birthday message for her son.

As previously reported, after 17 years of being together, Conor McGregor officially tied the knot with his partner, 38-year-old Dee Devlin.

The wedding ceremony, which Us Weekly reports cost the 37-year-old former UFC champion around 1 million euros, took place at the church of Santo Stefano degli Abissini – one of the oldest sacred spaces in the Vatican, accessible only to a select few.

Speaking to journalists, McGregor admitted that obtaining permission for the ceremony was no easy task. Nevertheless, the couple considered no alternative locations:

«Our family is deeply devoted to faith, and there is no place more sacred than the Vatican. I believe Jesus brought us here on this day. We are sincerely grateful for the exception made for us», the athlete said.

The first wedding photos have already surfaced online, revealing the bride’s look. For such a significant day, Dee chose a delicate dress adorned with floral appliqués, complemented by a veil and lace overlay. The groom, in turn, opted for a classic suit by David August.

After the official ceremony, the newlyweds traveled in a white Rolls-Royce to the venue for the celebratory banquet – the historic Roman castle Castello di Torcrecenza. Along the way, the couple made stops at picturesque locations to capture romantic moments.

The evening concluded with the cutting of the wedding cake, after which guests were invited into the garden for an elaborate fireworks display.

It is worth noting that Conor McGregor and Dee Devlin have been together for nearly 20 years. They met in 2008 in Dublin, when Conor was just starting his athletic career and far from global fame. Today, the couple is raising four children.
