Elon Musk’s fortune has surged to an estimated $788.1 billion, making him the richest person in history, according to exclusive calculations from Forbes’ Real-Time Billionaires List.
Sources close to Tesla and SpaceX executives indicate that the leap comes amid a sharp rise in Tesla shares following Musk’s announcement of an accelerated robotaxi rollout.
This exclusive report confirms that Musk’s wealth has eclipsed all previous personal fortunes ever recorded. Experts suggest that the combination of public equity gains and private company valuations, most notably Tesla, SpaceX, and xAI, is driving this extraordinary ascent.
“While we often track billionaire wealth, Musk’s latest net worth is unprecedented, even by tech billionaire standards,” said a market analyst familiar with the calculations.
Tesla shares rose more than 4% on Thursday after Musk stated that autonomous robotaxis could be operational nationwide by the end of the year. The stock rally alone accounted for tens of billions added to Musk’s fortune, sources suggest, further widening the gap between him and his nearest rival, Google cofounder Larry Page, whose net worth stands at roughly $270 billion.
Musk’s private stakes, particularly in SpaceX, which is valued at over $150 billion, and xAI, continue to compound his wealth, analysts say. “His holdings are extremely concentrated but extraordinarily valuable,” one insider explained.
This exclusive data underscores the unprecedented accumulation of wealth in the tech sector, fueling debates about economic inequality and market concentration. Musk now edges closer to a symbolic $800 billion, a threshold never crossed by any individual in history.
