A former SpaceX welder who once knew nothing about the company has become a millionaire after the aerospace giant's long-awaited stock market debut, in a heartwarming story that highlights the power of opportunity, perseverance and belief in a dream.
Juan Hernandez joined SpaceX in 2015 after hearing about an opening from a friend. At the time, he viewed the position as little more than another contract job. Having spent years working in hourly-paid roles, he had never imagined that a decision made more than a decade ago would transform his family's future.
