Elon Musk became the first trillionaire in history
Following the public offering of his aerospace company, the entrepreneur's net worth surpassed the trillion-dollar mark for the first time.
The transition from multi-billionaire to the world's first trillionaire was cemented by the public listing of SpaceX on the Nasdaq. With shares priced at 135 dollars each, the aerospace and satellite company reached a market valuation of approximately 1.77 trillion dollars. This surge in value pushed the personal net worth of its founder past the historic trillion-dollar threshold.
