Elon Musk's Net Worth: $1.33 Trillion, the First Trillionaire

Elon Musk's net worth is approximately $1.33 trillion as of June 2026, making him the world's first trillionaire on the Forbes Real-Time Billionaires list. He has held the title of world's wealthiest individual for most of the period since January 2021. His lead over the next-wealthiest person, Larry Page, is now more than $1 trillion, the largest gap in the history of either ranking.

Where the $1.33 trillion comes from

The single largest piece is SpaceX. Musk's roughly 42 percent stake in a company valued near $2 trillion accounts for some $840 billion, around two thirds of his total. It is also the only part of his wealth that has compounded almost every quarter since its founding.

How he crossed $1 trillion

Musk became the first person in history to pass a trillion dollar net worth, in June 2026. A SpaceX secondary near a $2 trillion valuation, a fresh xAI round, and Tesla's AI re-rating pushed him over the line. There is no precedent for an individual at this level; a full SpaceX public listing, widely expected within two years, would only widen the gap.

Forbes versus Bloomberg

Forbes' April 2026 annual list put Musk at $839 billion, but its real-time tracker has since lifted him past $1.3 trillion as fresh SpaceX and xAI valuations were marked in. Bloomberg's continuous mark-to-market index shows the same crossing. For the full rankings, see the richest people in the world.
