Elon Musk Is Still the Richest Person in the World and Just Hit a Record Net Worth of Over $400 Billion. Here’s How.

Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, 53, has reached more than $400 billion in net worth, the highest ever for an individual, per Bloomberg. This comes despite a Delaware judge’s decision last week to void Musk’s $56 billion Tesla pay package.

Several factors have helped the world’s richest person reach the feat.

On Wednesday, SpaceX and its investors agreed to purchase $1.25 billion of shares from employees and other insiders at the privately held company, which boosted Musk’s net worth by roughly $50 billion. Tesla’s stock is up about 65% since just before the election with Musk’s role at the soon-to-be-created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) on investor’s minds.
