Elon Musk becomes the first person ever to surpass $600 billion net worth

Elon Musk's net worth has reportedly reached an all-time high, with sources reporting it to be approximately $600 billion. Forbes reported that the boost is attributable to SpaceX's launch of a tender offer, which values the spacecraft company at $800 million. The news outlet explained that since Musk owns an estimated "42%" of the company, his net worth shot up to $677 billion as of 12 p.m. on December 15. Sources noted that he became the first and only person to touch the $500 billion mark in October 2025.

The news comes in light of reports that SpaceX is reportedly set to enter the public market. While there is no official confirmation about a potential IPO, Musk reportedly gave a nod to a report indicating the same.

Ars Technica's Eric Berger took to his X channel (@ericberger) on December 11 to drop a post with the caption,

"Here's why I think SpaceX is going public soon."

Shortly after Musk (@elonmusk) responded,

"As usual, Eric is accurate."
