The richest person's wealth exceeds $600 billion. How does SpaceX's valuation support this figure?

Question

【BlockBeats】Elon Musk's wealth hits a new high. According to the latest data from the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, the net worth of this world's richest person has approached $638 billion, surpassing the psychological barrier of $600 billion for the first time.Behind this wave of wealth growth is SpaceX's valuation. Recently, SpaceX completed an internal share sale, reaching a valuation of approximately $800 billion, making it the most valuable private company in the world. As the company's founder and CEO, Musk owns 42% of SpaceX. After applying a liquidity discount for private companies, this stake is valued at about $317 billion.In other words, the core driver of Musk's wealth increase is the appreciation of the assets of the companies he controls. This is also the first time the Bloomberg Wealth Index has calculated an individual net worth to surpass $600 billion. This figure alone reflects the crazy valuation of tech companies—a private space exploration company valuing enough to support a personal fortune exceeding $600 billion.

SpaceX's 800 billion valuation is really outrageous, relying solely on a bunch of paper wealth. What about actual cash flow?

The 600 billion figure sounds very虚, private company discounts only bring it to just over 300 billion. This valuation game is played very skillfully.

Elon Musk's wealth is just a reflection of SpaceX's valuation chart. When it rises, he rises. It feels like an empire built on balloons.

The question is whether this share sale is real cash or just a paper game. Can it be兑现ed after liquidity discounts?

No wonder they say the richest are all paper billionaires. Looking at this data structure, you can see it's all about company valuation to撑场面.

Wealth exceeds 600 billion, but how much can actually be spent? That's the real问题.

Private company valuations are so猛, it feels like the tech bubble is吹得飞起来呢.

600 billion? That number is outrageous. SpaceX's valuation of 800 billion is probably just hype.

Wait, can private companies really be worth that much? I really can't understand how the liquidity discount is calculated.

The definition of financial freedom has been rewritten; it's truly a different level altogether.

$600 billion, you really make me laugh. I'm still worried about two zeros missing from my account.

SpaceX's valuation is $800 billion? That guy is just playing with "paper wealth," while we're still worried about cash flow.

42% stake discounted to $317 billion, just listen, don't really think it's money to spend.

They are financially free, while our financial freedom is just a dream. Is the gap really that big?

This wave of market is truly amazing. The richest person's wealth story keeps repeating, while our wallets are writing tragic stories.

$600 billion? Honestly, that number is so outrageous it's a little scary... built solely on paper assets.

If SpaceX's valuation doubles, it could support half of the richest person's net worth. How big is this bubble?

Wait, after liquidity discounts, there's still over $300 billion? Am I missing something, or is this valuation just a fantasy?

Basically, it's just on-paper wealth. If they were to cash out completely, it would collapse in minutes. Who would believe that?

It's another private company valuation game. It looks impressive, but only when it turns into real cash does it count.

NoodlesOrTokens · Answer

600 billion can be broken, this guy is really something... Just SpaceX alone is worth half a fortune, but it's just on paper wealth.

Wait, is this valuation method a bit outrageous? Calculating numbers this way for private companies is hard to take seriously.

Honestly, I still believe in SpaceX's technological prospects, but hearing these wealth figures is just for fun.

Elon Musk's combo punches are really slick, one pulls up, and the other follows.

This private company's valuation is truly an economy of imagination haha

Staying glued to the screen at 3 AM, is the liquidity discount factor for SpaceX's $800 billion valuation really not an issue? A 42% equity conversion amounts to 3.17 trillion, how much private equity premium needs to be deducted to make this number reasonable?

DataChief · Answer

Uh, SpaceX's valuation of 800 billion supports a net worth of 600 billion, this logic is really incredible.

Wait, after liquidity discount, it's only 317 billion? So where did the remaining 300 billion+ come from?

Paper wealth game, can it really be cashed out?

Is Musk this wave the "poorest rich person" haha

Private company valuations are so crazy, I find it hard to believe.

LoneValidator · Answer

600 billion is really outrageous. How many ordinary people's lifetime earnings is that?

It's just paper wealth. It only counts if SpaceX actually goes public.

Elon Musk's recent gains are too aggressive. What happened to the promised Mars?

Wait, is an 800 billion valuation reliable? Feels a bit虚假.

It's just outrageous. One person’s wealth equals the GDP of a small country.

Over 6000 billion, this guy is really outrageous, with SpaceX alone supporting half the sky.

Honestly, I was a bit confused about the 800 billion valuation for the rocket company. Can this valuation logic hold up?

---

Once again seeing astronomical wealth figures, it feels like numbers don't really mean much these days.

---

Holding 42% stake worth over 300 billion, the premium space for private companies is really huge.

---

With such high paper wealth, cashing out would probably be another story altogether.

---

If SpaceX's valuation truly can be compared to a publicly listed company, that would be outrageous.

The numbers of the top few on the wealth list are becoming more and more surreal. Are they really playing a numbers game?
