Elon Musk became the world's first trillionaire on June 12, 2026, after the successful public listing of SpaceX on the Nasdaq stock exchange. The company's shares opened strongly and achieved a valuation exceeding $2 trillion, significantly boosting Musk's personal wealth to approximately $1.05 trillion. A major portion of his fortune came from his holdings in SpaceX, while his stake in Tesla also contributed substantially. This historic achievement marked the first time an individual's net worth crossed the $1 trillion threshold. Musk, who previously became a billionaire in 2012 and a centibillionaire in 2020, continues to lead both SpaceX and Tesla as CEO.
