Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk is nearing an unprecedented $800 billion net worth milestone after his artificial intelligence company, xAI Holdings, raised $20 billion from private investors.
The funding round valued xAI at $250 billion, increasing the worth of Musk’s 49 percent stake by about $62 billion. His total fortune now stands around $780 billion, putting him close to becoming the first individual ever worth $800 billion.
Titansloaded reports that the funding follows xAI’s merger with Musk’s social media platform, X (formerly Twitter), which initially valued the company at $113 billion. The latest investment round demonstrates strong market confidence in Musk’s AI ambitions.
Other early investors also benefited from the round. Saudi Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Alsaud owns 1.6 percent of xAI, now worth roughly $4 billion. Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey and Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison each hold about 0.8 percent, valued at $2.1 billion each.
Musk’s wealth has seen rapid growth over the past years. He surpassed $500 billion in October 2025, driven by Tesla’s stock surge, and later SpaceX’s valuation of $800 billion contributed to his total net worth exceeding $600 billion. Legal and business developments have since pushed him past $700 billion.
SpaceX remains Musk’s largest asset, with his 42 percent stake valued at about $336 billion. Tesla accounts for another significant portion, with Musk holding 12 percent of its stock and additional options.
xAI continues to develop its AI technologies, including the Grok chatbot, amid increasing competition in the sector. Analysts note that Musk’s stakes in high-value companies like SpaceX, Tesla, and xAI solidify his position as the world’s wealthiest individual, exceeding the second-richest person by over $500 billion.
