Elon Musk is already favored to become the world’s first trillionaire before New Year’s, but a pay package buried in SpaceX’s S-1 filing last week could push him toward $2 trillion if he delivers a Mars colony.
Polymarket traders give Musk a 94% chance of crossing the trillion-dollar mark before 2027, with $533,000 in volume on the contract. His current net worth sits at $733 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
Something went wrong.
The trillion-dollar threshold may resolve on listing day. At the targeted $1.75 trillion IPO valuation, Musk’s 44% stake in the combined SpaceX-xAI entity would be worth around $770 billion.
Combined with his roughly 11% Tesla stake and 304 million exercisable options from his 2018 pay package, he should cross the trillionaire line the moment the IPO bell rings.
