SpaceX plans to sell 555,555,555 shares of common stock at $135 per share, raising close to $75 billion and bringing the value of the company to $1.77 trillion. We estimate that current and former employees own roughly 10%-15% of total shares in the company, bringing their total equity to somewhere between $150 and $250 billion; for this report, we\u2019re using the midpoint of $200 billion. Applying broad tax assumptions, current and former employees will gain a total of about $120 billion, post-tax, which is the figure we are using to estimate how much real estate employees could purchase.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The total value of all homes in San Antonio was roughly $297 billion as of 2024, according to a\u00a0 <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/housing-market-value-december-2024\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Redfin report<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The total value of all homes in Houston was $801 billion, and the total value of all homes in McAllen was $46 billion. Using the assumption that SpaceX employees will earn $120 billion total through the IPO, their equity could buy 40% of all real estate in San Antonio or 15% in Houston. Their equity could buy all the real estate in McAllen, and then some.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The total value of all homes in Los Angeles was <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/housing-market-value-december-2024\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">nearly $2.2 trillion<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in 2024\u2013second only to New York City.

As employees cash out stocks and gain purchasing power, some will choose to buy a house for the first time, while others will upgrade their existing homes or buy vacation or investment properties. That increases demand in communities where these companies are based and often drives up prices.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In San Francisco, home prices are <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/san-francisco-home-prices-march-2026\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">growing at their fastest pace<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in nearly a decade as the AI boom drives a surge in demand.

Our estimate that employees hold 10\u201315% of total shares\u2014implying $150\u2013250 billion in equity, with a $200 billion midpoint\u2014is derived by subtracting known large stakeholders from the total market cap and applying typical employee equity pool ranges seen at comparable late-stage tech IPOs. After applying estimated federal and state income taxes, we estimate SpaceX employees would net a total of approximately $120 billion in after-tax proceeds, or roughly 60% of the $200 billion pre-tax midpoint. That is a broad figure, as taxes depend on state, stock type and many other factors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Total housing market values for all metro areas cited are from a Redfin report on U.S. housing market values as of December 2024.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Important caveats: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All wealth figures reflect IPO pricing, not realized gains\u2013employees are subject to lockup periods before they can sell shares.
