Tesla CEO Elon Musk has officially become the first person in history to achieve a net worth of $500.1 billion, according to Forbes’ Real-Time Billionaires tracker (October 2025).

Musk had earlier become the first person to cross $400 billion in December, 2024. His wealth surge is tied primarily to the performance of his companies: Tesla, SpaceX, and xAI.
