Elon Musk became the first person in history to reach a net worth of over $850 billion, thanks to the increase in value of SpaceX and xAI, along with the impact of his shares in Tesla, placing him far ahead at the top of the global wealth rankings.
One of the most important figures in the technology world, Elon Musk, has surpassed a fortune of 850 billion dollars, becoming the first person in human history to reach this level. This record came after the billionaire CEO's investments and mergers in the fields of space, automotive, and artificial intelligence.
HIS FORTUNE REACHED A NEW PEAK
According to Forbes' real-time billionaire list, Musk's total fortune reached a new peak, especially after the merger of the space transportation company SpaceX and the artificial intelligence initiative xAI. The combined valuation of SpaceX and xAI at 1.25 trillion dollars increased Musk's fortune by approximately 84 billion dollars in one go, pushing it above 850 billion dollars.
His shares in Tesla also constitute a significant portion of his wealth. The stock value of the electric vehicle manufacturer plays a critical role in Musk's total wealth increase, while the anticipated IPO of SpaceX has also become the focal point for markets and investors.
NEW VALUATION BROUGHT A RECORD
The valuation of the new structure formed by the merger of SpaceX and xAI significantly boosted Musk's personal wealth. His shares in Tesla continue to make up a large portion of his fortune. The planned IPO of SpaceX indicates that his wealth may further increase in the coming period.
WIDENING THE GAP IN THE RICHEST LIST
This development marks a new era in the list of the world's richest people, positioning Musk far ahead at the top. According to Bloomberg data, Musk, whose fortune previously reached the 800 billion dollar mark, has now also surpassed the 850 billion dollar threshold.
