How Rich is Elon Musk?

With an estimated net worth of $482B, Elon Musk’s fortune sits at a scale that defies easy comparison. His wealth exceeds the annual GDP of Egypt, rivals the combined economies of all low-income nations, and surpasses the total assets of major sovereign wealth funds.

At that level, Musk is richer than some of the world’s most valuable companies like Coca-Cola and Shopify, and over $140B wealthier than second-richest person Larry Ellison ($347B). His holdings in Tesla, SpaceX, and xAI have pushed him far beyond earlier milestones, nearly twenty times the net worth of the richest African, Aliko Dangote ($24.7B), almost thrice that of Jensen Huang ($163B) and twice that of Mark Zuckerberg ($244B), the third-richest person on the planet.

It’s a snapshot of modern wealth concentration: one individual now commands more value than global brands, sports franchises, and even some national economies combined.
