Entrepreneur Elon Musk’s net worth has exceeded $800 billion, according to Forbes estimates: the publication currently values his capital at approximately $852.5 billion.
The increase in valuation is linked to the announced deal in which SpaceX acquired xAI. According to Reuters, the deal values SpaceX at $1 trillion, xAI at approximately $250 billion, and the combined business at approximately $1.25 trillion.
However, Musk has not yet crossed the $1 trillion threshold: based on Forbes’ current estimate, he is about $150 billion short of a trillion. Forbes also noted that the key sources of his wealth remain his stakes in SpaceX and Tesla, and not just the effect of the xAI deal.
