The much-awaited SpaceX IPO, priced at $135 a share, values the company at about $1.8 trillion. The blockbuster valuation has added an estimated $188 billion to Elon Musk's fortune, lifting his net worth to roughly $982 billion, according to Forbes calculations, and putting him firmly on track to become the world's first trillionaire.
Most of Musk's fortune is now tied to SpaceX, where he holds a stake worth roughly $866 billion. Combined with his holdings in Tesla and other ventures, his net worth is expected to exceed $1.1 trillion when SpaceX begins trading on Friday, according to Forbes and Reuters calculations based on company filings.
