Foreign Media: Elon Musk Becomes the First Person in History with a Net Worth of $700 Billion
In January 2024, a Delaware court ruled that the process of granting Musk's $139 billion stock option award in 2018 was unfair due to his control over the Tesla board and subsequently revoked it. On December 19, 2025, the Delaware Supreme Court overturned this ruling, and Forbes then canceled its previous estimate of a 50% discount on the value of the options, increasing Musk's net worth by $69.5 billion to a record $74.9 billion.
Currently, Tesla is Musk's most valuable asset, with his 12% common stock valued at $199 billion, and with the options, the total value of his Tesla assets reaches $338 billion.
Additionally, Musk holds 42% of SpaceX shares, valued at $336 billion.
