According to Forbes magazine, American billionaire Elon Musk became the first person in human history to have a net worth exceeding $800 billion. Today, Musk's real wealth has reached $852 billion.
This record growth was caused by SpaceX's acquisition of the artificial intelligence company xAI. As a result of this deal, Musk's net worth instantly increased by $84 billion.
Before the deal, Musk owned 42% of SpaceX and 49% of xAI. After the merger, SpaceX was valued at $1 trillion, and xAI at $250 billion. Musk managed to retain 43% of the $542-billion joint venture.
According to Forbes, SpaceX has now become Elon Musk's most valuable asset. He also owns 12% of Tesla's shares ($178 billion) and $124 billion in stock options.
Larry Page, one of Google's founders, is in second place in the wealth ranking. His wealth is estimated at $281 billion, which is almost $570 billion less than Musk's.
