Elon Musk
The world's first trillionaire, controlling the launch, satellite, AI, and social-platform infrastructure that states and militaries now depend on.
Elon Musk became the first person in history with a net worth exceeding $1 trillion following the June 12, 2026 IPO of SpaceX, which priced at a valuation near $1.77 trillion and raised roughly $75 billion — the largest public offering ever recorded. SpaceX, in which Musk holds about 41%, accounts for the majority of his fortune.
