The world’s richest person, Elon Musk, is nearly halfway to becoming the planet’s first trillionaire.
Forbes magazine disclosed this Wednesday on Wednesday, October 1, 2025.
The Tesla and SpaceX CEO became the first person to achieve a net worth of $500 billion, briefly, as the shares in his electric vehicle company rebound from his clumsy stint in politics, amid other gains.
The 54-year-old’s net worth hit $500.1 billion on Wednesday before dipping back to $499.1 billion, the magazine’s “Real-Time Billionaires” tracker reported.

After graduating from the University of Pennsylvania and dropping out of Stanford University, Musk banked his first millions when he sold an online publishing software company to United States computer maker Compaq for more than $300 million in 1999.
His next company eventually merged with PayPal, and after leaving that venture, the South African-born tech entrepreneur founded space rocket company SpaceX in 2002 and became the chairman of electric carmaker Tesla in 2004.
