Elon Musk looks set to send two people on a trip around the moon. the two travelers have already been picked, and SpaceX says they paid “a significant” amount for the privilege.
Apparently, these two individuals approached SpaceX on their own and requested to be flown around the moon.

Keeping the duo's identities secret, SpaceX notes that training will begin later this year and that it will reveal them after the individuals pass their health and fitness tests and give their nod to going public.
Elon also noted that the passengers will be traveling in a Dragon 2 capsule, powered by SpaceX’s still-in-design Falcon Heavy rocket. They’re going to do four missions before this one, though, all to the International Space Station rather than the moon: three carrying cargo, and one carrying a crew.
Till then keep wondering who the two could be?
