The SpaceX founder became the world's first trillionaire — how else does he add up?
Elon Musk is officially the world’s first trillionaire. On Friday, SpaceX’s initial public offering, or IPO, shot up the valuation of the space exploration and AI company to an astronomical $1.77 trillion, the largest IPO and corporate valuation in history. Musk’s controlling share of the corporation’s stock pushed his already astronomical net worth of around $800 billion into the trillions.
It’s an almost unimaginable amount of money now under the control of the already wealthiest man on the planet. So to help visualize just how much Musk is worth, here are some points of comparison — and some other numbers that will define Musk’s career.
$1.1 trillion: The estimated net worth of Musk on June 12, 2026.
$1.85 million: The estimated lifetime earnings of the median American man.
$1.1 million: The estimated lifetime earnings of the median American woman.
$290 million: The amount Musk spent helping Trump win the 2024 election, per SEC filings.
14 million: The rough estimate of global deaths expected by 2030 as a result of Musk’s cut to foreign aid programs as head of DOGE, according to the medical journal The Lancet.
12: Number of attempted SpaceX Starship launches
6: Number of SpaceX Starship launches that ended in failure.
$38 billion: The amount Musk’s companies have received in contracts, tax credits, and grants from the federal government between 2003 and 2025.
$332: The average amount an American family on the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program receives in aid per month.

$100 million: The amount of affordable housing subsidies and assistance programs Musk eliminated as head of DOGE.

1: The number of Musk’s children who have openly disowned him. (Vivian Jenna Wilson, Musk’s trangender daughter from his first marriage with his first wife Justine Wilson, disavowed her father after he rejected her gender identity and publicly bashed her in interviews with right wingers.)
