Musk's net worth hits $600 billion, Forbes says, as SpaceX preps for IPO

Elon Musk’s net worth surged past $600 billion driven by SpaceX’s $800 billion valuation and Tesla’s 13% stock rise, according to Forbes and Bloomberg.

  • On Dec 15, Elon Musk, founder and chief executive officer of SpaceX, became the first person ever calculated to be worth US$600 billion, Forbes said from STARBASE, South Texas.
  • Musk owns an estimated 42 per cent stake in SpaceX, private rocket and satellite company, with that stake worth US$317 billion after a liquidity discount; reports say SpaceX could list at US$800 billion.
  • Musk's roughly 12 per cent Tesla stake helped, with shares rising 13 per cent this year and nearly 4 per cent on Monday, while Tesla shareholders approved a US$1 trillion pay plan in November.
  • SpaceX is preparing to go public next year, a move that could push Musk's wealth toward US$677 billion if targeting US$1.5 trillion as soon as 2026, Forbes said.
  • SpaceX's role as the leading orbital-launch company and Starlink provider frames the valuation story, while Elon Musk's wealth trajectory from US$4.8 billion in 2013 to US$100 billion in 2020 highlights rapid gains, Forbes said.
