Elon Musk’s net worth has reached over $800 billion, the largest fortune ever recorded. According to Forbes’ 2026 rich list, his wealth stood at $836.2 billion in March 2026. This places him more than $500 billion ahead of the world’s second-wealthiest person, Google co-founder Larry Page. The surge is driven by gains from Tesla stock and the soaring valuation of his private aerospace company, SpaceX.
Elon Musk’s net worth recently surpassed the $800 billion mark. According to Forbes’ 2026 rich list, this is the largest fortune ever recorded in history.
Larry Page, the co-founder of Google, is worth $252.8 billion and is more than $500 billion behind Musk. Sergey Brin and Jeff Bezos follow with net worths of $233.3 billion and $266.8 billion, respectively.
The surge is largely driven by massive gains from Tesla stock. The valuation of SpaceX is also soaring as the company reportedly aims for an Initial Public Offering.
“The gap between the rich list is growing, with commentators calling the development ‘Muskonomy.’” The billionaire’s business foresight and ability to take bigger risks are cited as factors.
If SpaceX goes public, Elon Musk’s net worth would surge further. His fortune is now larger than the combined net worth of Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, and Warren Buffett.
