Elon Musk’s Net Worth Jumps by ₹13 Lakh Crore, Surpassing Mukesh Ambani’s Total Wealth
New York / New Delhi — Tesla and SpaceX chief executive Elon Musk has recorded one of the largest single-period increases in personal wealth in recent financial history, with his net worth rising by approximately ₹13 lakh crore, according to global wealth trackers and market estimates.
The surge is significant as the increase alone is greater than the total estimated net worth of Mukesh Ambani, India’s richest individual. The comparison highlights the growing scale of wealth concentration among the world’s top technology entrepreneurs.
Market analysts attribute the sharp rise in Musk’s wealth primarily to a jump in the valuation of SpaceX, along with improved investor sentiment around Tesla. SpaceX has benefited from expanding government contracts, growing commercial satellite operations, and strong demand for its Starlink internet services.
Tesla’s stock performance and expectations around Musk’s artificial intelligence and technology ventures have also contributed to the increase in his overall net worth.
According to available estimates, Musk’s total wealth now stands at several hundred billion dollars, placing him far ahead of other global business leaders. Mukesh Ambani, chairman of Reliance Industries, continues to rank among the wealthiest individuals in Asia, though his fortune remains considerably lower in comparison.
Financial experts say such a dramatic rise in personal wealth over a short period is rare and reflects the powerful role of equity valuations in technology-driven businesses. They note that private market valuations, especially in space and artificial intelligence sectors, are increasingly shaping global billionaire rankings.
At the same time, analysts caution that billionaire wealth linked to market valuations can fluctuate significantly, depending on economic conditions and investor sentiment.
The development has renewed broader discussions about wealth concentration, the influence of technology founders on global markets, and the contrasting models of wealth creation across different economies.
Despite the comparison, both Elon Musk and Mukesh Ambani remain influential figures in their respective industries, with businesses that continue to shape global technology and economic trends.
