"Elon Musk's Net Worth Tops $400 Billion, a Historic
The 53-year-old Tesla (TSLA) CEO and serial entrepreneur is the first person to have a net worth of more than $400 billion. “Musk's net wealth is primarily derived from his investments in Tesla and the privately owned companies SpaceX, social media platform X, and XAI. According to Bloomberg, a recent insider share transaction at SpaceX “boosted Musk's net worth by roughly $50 billion in one fell swoop to $439.2 billion.”
Surge in Tesla and SpaceX Valuations
Tesla's stock has increased significantly, reaching a record high of $424.77. This rise is related to investor confidence about President-elect Donald Trump's ideas, which Musk endorsed during the election.Tesla, Musk's electric vehicle startup, has seen its share price skyrocket in recent months, reaching an all-time high of $424.88 on Wednesday and closing at a record $424.77.
However, an insider share sale in Elon Musk's privately held space company, SpaceX, helped boost his net worth to unprecedented heights, making his space company the world's most valuable private startup.
Additionally, a recent insider sale of SpaceX stock has increased the company's valuation to $350 billion, making it the world's most valuable private firm. Musk's 42% ownership in SpaceX has significantly boosted his wealth.
Legal Challenges
Despite his financial success, Musk is facing legal challenges, including a Delaware judge's recent ruling that his $101 billion Tesla compensation deal was unfair to shareholders.
