Elon Musk’s net worth hit $1.1 trillion following SpaceX’s public debut, while bettors favor Meta’s CEO to reach the milestone next.
Elon Musk became the world’s first trillionaire after SpaceX’s June 12 public debut, pushing his net worth to $1.1 trillion. His wealth now exceeds the combined fortunes of Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, and Jeff Bezos, as well as the annual GDP of Pennsylvania and Illinois combined.
Mark Zuckerberg, Meta’s CEO, is the top contender to join Musk, with a current net worth near $200 billion. Prediction markets on Kalshi give Zuckerberg a 32% chance of reaching $1 trillion by 2033, though bets remain low at just over $7,500 in contracts.
The milestone underscores the rapid accumulation of wealth among tech leaders, with Musk’s fortune now surpassing $1.9 trillion in hypothetical spending power after accounting for major U.S. debts and global initiatives.
