Elon Musk is already the richest man in the world by a margin. After the SpaceX IPO on June 12, they could become something no one has ever dreamed of: a trillion.
Where He Stands Today
According to Forbes’ real-time billionaire tracker, Musk’s net worth was about $788.8 billion as of June 2026, a figure so high that it was not recorded as a real number. His wealth extends to Tesla, whose stock and options are worth about $455 billion combined, and SpaceX, which has been kept private until now.
Larry Page is in second place in the world with about $300 to $334 billion, followed by Sergey Brin at about $285 billion. Musk doesn’t just lead the list, he’s in a completely different category.
What the IPO Adds
SpaceX priced at $135 per share for a $1.77 trillion valuation, making it the largest IPO in financial history. Musk owns about 41% of the company. In the calculation of the IPO, the value of SpaceX alone is worth about $ 866.5 billion on paper, a figure that was confirmed in the SEC filings that were updated this week.
Add in Tesla’s holdings and other interests and analysts estimate that Musk’s total earnings could exceed $1 trillion, which could reach $1.1 trillion depending on where SpaceX sells on the day of the schedule and in the following weeks. That would represent a gain of over $300 billion from his current position and would make him the first person in recorded history to cross the trillion dollar mark.
Catching up
Shares of Musk’s SpaceX were closed for more than 12 months following the listing, meaning that the paper’s wealth may not be immediately available. Some entrants have a lock-in period and can sell quickly.
SpaceX is also the first of three previous launches expected this year. Anthropic and OpenAI are both expected to go public for valuations approaching $1 trillion each. If all three get it right, the wealth of the world’s top billionaires will reach unprecedented levels.
Right now, the world is looking at June 12. And so is Elon Musk, who will wake up that morning already the richest man alive and should end the day the richest.
