Just saw Elon Musk's net worth just crossed $800 billion - apparently he's the first person ever to hit that number. Forbes has him at $839 billion now, which is honestly wild to think about. Since May 2024 he's been the world's richest person, but the speed of wealth accumulation lately is insane. His net worth jumped $64 billion just this past month alone, and since the start of 2026 it's grown over $100 billion. The guy went from $500 billion in October 2025 to where he is now in just a few months. His companies' valuations have been absolutely surging. What's crazy is Elon Musk's net worth is now more than $500 billion ahead of the second richest person, Larry Page. Like that gap is massive. Not sure if anyone's ever been this far ahead before. The wealth concentration is getting pretty extreme when you think about it.
