X owner Elon Musk has become the first person ever worth $600 billion.
Forbes announced this on Monday, December 15, 2025, on the heels of reports that SpaceX startup was likely to go public at a valuation of $800 billion.
Musk, who was the first to surpass $500 billion in net worth in October, owns an estimated 42% stake in SpaceX, which is preparing to go public next year.
His wealth also got a boost from his roughly 12% stake in EV maker Tesla, shares of which have risen 13% so far this year, despite flagging sales.

His artificial-intelligence startup xAI is also in advanced talks to raise $15 billion in fresh equity at a valuation of $230 billion, according to a media report.
