The historic moment saw TV cameras capture arguably the world's richest sports picture ever last night.

Footage showed Trump deep in discussion with the Public Investment Fund boss, while Musk focused on Jon Jones' triumph over Stipe Miocic.

Al-Rumayyan and Musk control nearly $1.2trillion in assets across several companies, including Space X and oil giant Saudi Aramco.

But with Trump included, the trios combined net worth is around $1.8trillion - the same price as the latest US Congress spending bill.

The 78-year-old, who won his second Presidential term in office and is close pals with UFC CEO Dana White, is worth an estimated $6billion.

Al-Rumayyan, 54, is the governor of Saudi consortium PIF group.

As well as his Newcastle duties, the 54-year-old manages and controls more than $930 billion in PIF assets.

But Al-Rumayyan's personal net worth is estimated at a mere $28 million by comparison.

The Prem chief also earns an annual salary of $302,000 for his role at Saudi Aramco, ranked as the most valuable company in the world.

Jones, 37, created yet more history with an emphatic stoppage victory over Miocic to retain his heavyweight title.

Jones later BOWED and handed his belt to Trump by the octagon after his victory lap.

The famous New York venue isn't far from Trump's own business venture, Trump Tower.

Meanwhile Tech tycoon Musk, 53, is believed to have added more than $54 billion to his net worth since Trump won the November 5 election.

Two of Trump's key cabinet picks, Robert F Kennedy Jr and Tulsi Gabbard could be spotted behind the soon-to-be-president as Scot Paul Craig was defeated by Bo Nickal in the other main card fight.

Vivek Ramaswamy, who will lead Trump's cost-cutting Department of Government Efficiency with Musk, was also in the crowd.
