Elon Musk’s wealth could nearly double if SpaceX goes public next year at a $1.5 trillion valuation, according to estimates from the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. The Tesla and SpaceX CEO currently holds a 42% stake in the company, valued at about $136 billion. Still, that figure would soar to more than $625 billion if the IPO happens at the projected valuation.
That would push Musk’s total fortune close to $952 billion, up from his current $460 billion, putting him within reach of becoming the world’s first trillionaire.
The potential listing would make SpaceX one of the largest IPOs in history, nearly matching Saudi Aramco’s $1.7 trillion debut in 2019. SpaceX, headquartered in Starbase, Texas, is expected to bring in about $15 billion in annual revenue, far less than Aramco’s $360 billion before its listing — but its growth trajectory and dominance in rocket launches and satellite internet (Starlink) have fueled massive investor enthusiasm.
Musk’s journey to a trillion-dollar net worth also runs through Tesla, where his record pay package is tied to ambitious targets, including an $8.5 trillion market value and $400 billion in annual adjusted earnings, up from under $13 billion last year.
Meanwhile, SpaceX continues to expand rapidly. The company is reportedly arranging a $2 billion employee stock sale valuing it at over $800 billion, which could add another $180 billion to Musk’s net worth before any IPO.
Beyond SpaceX and Tesla, Musk’s other ventures, including xAI (valued at roughly $230 billion), Neuralink ($9 billion), and The Boring Company ($7 billion), also strengthen his financial empire.
If the SpaceX IPO proceeds as expected, it would mark a defining moment for Musk’s wealth and the global space economy, making him the closest anyone has ever come to achieving a trillion-dollar personal fortune.
