Former SpaceX Welder's Stock Grant Grows to Nearly Rs 10 Crore After IPOPreviousNext

Juan Hernandez joined SpaceX in 2015 as a welder, initially viewing it as a typical contract job. He received stock worth about Rs 8.6 lakh, which grew to nearly Rs 10 crore following SpaceX's historic IPO, where shares closed at 160.95 USD. Hernandez, who later moved to Blue Origin, credits employee ownership for fostering responsibility and plans to teach his children about investing while continuing to work.
