Elon Musk has made history as the first person to surpass a $600 billion net worth, reaching an estimated $677 billion on December 15, 2025, fueled by SpaceX's latest tender offer valuing the company at $800 billion. This milestone coincides with SpaceX launching a competitive "bake-off" process to select investment banks as advisors for its anticipated 2026 initial public offering, potentially raising over $30 billion at a $1.5 trillion valuation. Analysts project that a successful IPO could propel Musk's fortune beyond $950 billion, positioning him to become the world's first trillionaire within the next year.
