The math is almost offensive. Elon Musk’s stake in SpaceX is worth $866 billion on paper after the company dropped its IPO prospectus Wednesday, pricing at $135 a share for a $1.77 trillion valuation.
Add his $355 billion Tesla position and options that could tack on another $100 billion, and the world’s richest person is staring down a net worth that will require a new word to describe.
SpaceX hits the Nasdaq next week, 16 years after Musk took Tesla public. He’ll control 82% of the rocket company post-IPO, though he’s locked up for a year.
Forbes currently pegs him at $826 billion, roughly three times Larry Page in second place.
The prospectus, in the risk factors section (always the most honest part of any filing), notes that after the lock-up, Musk “may elect at any time to sell all or a substantial portion” of his stake.
Good to know they thought of that.

👀 Should anyone be worth $1 trillion?
