A former SpaceX welder has seen a stock grant received a decade ago grow into a holding worth more than $1 million following the company's long-awaited stock market debut.
Juan Hernandez, who joined SpaceX in 2015 without knowing much about the company, said he initially viewed the role as another contract job, as reported by CBS. Today, he owns roughly 6,500 SpaceX shares, valued at more than $1 million based on the stock's closing price after the company's initial public offering.
