Spacex filed with FCC to operate 4400 satellites and Elon Musk Spacex shares are worth $8.1 billion
Elon Musk's trust currently owns 54% of the outstanding stock of SpaceX and has voting control of 78% of the outstanding stock of SpaceX.
Google and Fidelity's investment valued Spacex at roughly $15 billion. Therefore, Elon's shares of SpaceX are worth $8.1 billion.
Elon has 22% stake in Tesla Motors (31,100,644 shares) which are currently worth $5.7 billion at today's close of $183.93.
A net worth of $13.8 billion would put Elon as about the 70th richest person in the world

Space Exploration Holdings, LLC seeks operating authority (i.e., approval for orbital deployment and a station license) for a non-geostationary orbit satellite system in the Fixed-Satellite Service using the Ku and Ka frequency bands.
Elon Musk has proposed a network of some 4,000 micro-satellites to provide broadband Internet services around the globe. SpaceX is partnering with Google and Fidelity Investments, which are investing $1 billion for a 10 percent stake in the endeavor. Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic and Qualcomm, meanwhile, are investing in a competing venture called OneWeb, which aims to build a similar network of micro-satellites.
