Elon Musk, the world’s richest individual, has reached an unprecedented financial milestone. He briefly achieved a net worth of $500.1 billion on October 1, 2025.

According to Forbes’ Real-Time Billionaires tracker, the combined wealth of the Tesla and SpaceX CEOs later settled at $499.1 billion.

This surge, driven by a rebound in Tesla’s stock following Musk’s recent political ventures, marks a significant moment in his storied career. The 54-year-old South African-born entrepreneur outpaces other billionaires. Oracle’s Larry Ellison, with $350.7 billion, and Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg at $245.8 billion, are trailing behind, per Forbes.

Musk’s journey to this milestone began after graduating from the University of Pennsylvania. He briefly attended Stanford University. His first major success came in 1999 when he sold Zip2, an online publishing software company, to Compaq for over $300 million. He then co-founded X.com, which merged into PayPal, further cementing his wealth.

In 2002, Musk launched SpaceX, revolutionising the aerospace industry with reusable rockets and ambitious goals, such as Mars colonisation. By 2004, he became chairman and lead investor of Tesla, steering the electric vehicle company to global prominence. These ventures, alongside his leadership in Neuralink and The Boring Company, have fueled his extraordinary wealth growth.

Tesla’s Rebound Drives Wealth Surge

Tesla’s stock recovery in 2025 has been a key driver of Musk’s wealth. After a turbulent period tied to his political engagements, the company’s focus on innovation and electric vehicle demand has bolstered its market performance. SpaceX’s advancements, including contracts with NASA and private satellite launches, further contribute to Musk’s financial ascent.

Forbes notes that Musk’s wealth trajectory positions him to potentially reach trillionaire status within the decade. This is a feat no individual has achieved. His ability to navigate market challenges and lead transformative companies underscores his influence in technology and beyond.

As Musk’s wealth approaches historic levels, questions arise about its implications for global innovation, wealth inequality, and the future of his companies. SpaceX’s lunar and Martian missions and Tesla’s push for autonomous vehicles remain focal points for investors and analysts.
