Elon Musk Gains $3.85B in a Day as TSLA Jumps 2.53%

Elon Musk added $3.85B of net worth on July 22, 2026, one of the day's biggest moves among the world's richest people. The swing (+$3.85B, or 0.96%) leaves the fortune at an estimated $405.74B, ranked #1 on our real-time list.

The move traces to TSLA, the listed company behind most of the fortune, which climbed 2.53% on the day to 378.93 USD per share. Because a billionaire's wealth is concentrated in stock, daily net worth simply follows the share price multiplied by the shares held.

Co-founder and CEO of Tesla and SpaceX; also owns X (formerly Twitter) and founded The Boring Company and Neuralink.
