Elon Musk's Net Worth Surges Past $700 Billion After Tesla Pay Package Restored
Elon Musk's net worth has surged to an estimated $749 billion, making him the first person in history to exceed $700 billion, following the Delaware Supreme Court's reinstatement of his controversial 2018 Tesla compensation package. The court reversed a lower court's 2024 decision that had voided the deal, ruling the cancellation was improper and inequitable. The restored stock options are now valued at approximately $139 billion, significantly boosting Musk's wealth and his lead over other billionaires.
