Elon Musk's net worth is currently valued at $895 billion, having risen by $237 billion so far this year. The $237 billion gain is similar to Michael Dell's entire fortune, who ranks fifth on Bloomberg's list. Musk's wealth once topped $1 trillion but dropped by hundreds of billions after SpaceX's stock fell between June and August.
