Elon Musk, founder of SpaceX and xAI, has become the first person in history whose net worth has exceeded $800 billion. This is reported by Forbes.
According to the Forbes Real-Time Billionaires ranking as of February 4, 2026, Musk's net worth is $852.5 billion.
A key factor contributing to such a significant increase in wealth was the merger of SpaceX with xAI, which was valued by investors at $1.25 trillion. Musk owns 43% of the new company, amounting to $542 billion.
Among the billionaire's assets, the following can be highlighted:
In the past four months, Elon Musk has updated his financial records four times. He currently leads his closest competitor, Google co-founder Larry Page, by $575 billion.
Experts suggest that Musk needs just under $150 billion to become the world's first trillionaire. One of the factors that could contribute to this is the planned IPO of SpaceX in June 2026, during which the company aims to raise up to $50 billion at a valuation of $1.5 trillion.
