It’s official! Elon Musk has become the world’s first trillionaire. For those unaware, while Elon is the CEO of a number of companies, it was after his company, SpaceX, began trading on the NASDAQ on Friday, June 12, 2026, following its IPO, that Elon surpassed the trillion-dollar mark. Amid the buzz, the focus has also shifted to Elon’s first wife, Justine Wilson, who might have ended up a billionaire herself had she not signed a post-nuptial agreement with her then-husband.
Justine Wilson signed a postnup with Elon Musk that kept her from becoming a billionaire
Elon Musk and Justine Wilson tied the knot in January 2000. And soon after their wedding, according to Justine, he made an appointment with a lawyer who would help them with a “financial agreement” that the board of Elon’s then-new company wanted them to sign. While Justine had thought that it might be a prenup, Elon made it clear to her that it wasn’t. Talking about Elon’s wealth at the time, she claimed that it “seemed abstract and unreal, a string of zeros that existed in some strange space of its own.”
