Elon Musk Breaks History as First Person to Exceed $600 Billion Net Worth

Elon Musk has officially become the first individual in history to amass a fortune surpassing $600 billion. This financial milestone was reached on Monday, driven primarily by a massive surge in the valuation of his aerospace company, SpaceX.

According to recent financial reports, SpaceX is now valued at approximately $800 billion following a new tender offer. This is a significant jump from its previous valuation of roughly $400 billion just months ago. Because Musk owns an estimated 42% of the private company, this revaluation added approximately $168 billion to his personal wealth overnight.

While SpaceX provided the massive boost, Musk’s wealth is also supported by his holdings in Tesla. The electric vehicle manufacturer has seen its stock rise steadily this year, further cementing his position at the top of the global wealth rankings. Additionally, his artificial intelligence venture, xAI, is reportedly in talks for fresh funding that could value it at nearly $230 billion.

Musk’s current net worth is now estimated to be around $677 billion, placing him far ahead of other billionaires. He is currently more than $400 billion richer than the second person on the list, widening the gap between himself and tech moguls like Larry Page and Jeff Bezos.

Analysts are now speculating that if SpaceX proceeds with a public offering in the coming years, Musk could potentially become the world’s first trillionaire. The rapid growth of his various ventures suggests that his financial ascent may not be slowing down anytime soon.
