Elon Musk earlier this year became the first person to reach a wealth of $500 billion, and by the end of December 2025 it will increase to $700 billion. Today Musk broke a personal record with a wealth value reaching $852.5 billion (~RM 3.35 trillion) which makes him the first person to reach a wealth of more than $800 billion
At the time of writing his personal wealth is higher than the combined wealth of Larry Page ($277.9 billion), Sergey Brin ($852.5 billion) and Larry Ellison (249.3 billion) who are the second, third and fourth richest individuals in the world.
This latest increase in wealth value comes after he merged xAI with SpaceX yesterday as a step to increase the value of both companies' shares. SpaceX is now also an artificial intelligence (AI) company with plans to build AI data centers in space.
Musk is getting closer to becoming the first trillionaire in history with a reward package worth hundreds of billions to be received if he manages to deliver 20 million EVs, produce 1 million Cybercab self-driving taxis for commercial purposes, produce 1 million Optimus robots also for commercial purposes and increase Tesla's profits to $400 billion from the current $17 billion.
