Elon Musk is well on his way to being the world’s first trillionaire. The Tesla CEO is already one of richest people on Earth, with a net worth of $430 billion as of Oct. 21, 2025, per Forbes.
Now, thanks to a recent compensation package proposal with Tesla, the tech entrepreneur might just make an additional $900 billion over the next decade, potentially making him not only the first trillionaire, but the most well-paid CEO ever.
