As of October 2025, Forbes has officially recognized Elon Musk as the first individual in history to surpass a $500 billion net worth.
Other financial trackers report slightly lower figures:
• Bloomberg Estimate: around $470 billion
• Earlier 2025 Range: $378–$460 billion
Yet, all agree on one point — Musk’s fortune is growing at an unprecedented pace, driven by:
• Tesla’s surge in EVs and robotics ⚡
• SpaceX’s rising valuation and government launch contracts 🚀
• xAI’s rapid expansion, challenging both OpenAI and Google 🤖
Musk now stands above every sovereign wealth fund chief — and even exceeds the GDP of several nations. 🌍
