With the wealth created through SpaceX’s massive IPO, current and former employees could hypothetically pool their money to buy an estimated 40% of all homes in San Antonio, one of the closest major U.S. metro areas to the company’s Starbase, TX headquarters. That’s not just homes for sale–that’s half of all homes in the entire metro area. 

A few other  hypothetical options: Those employees could buy an estimated 15% of all homes in Houston, the fourth-most populous U.S. city. Or they could buy every single home in McAllen, TX–much smaller than San Antonio or Houston but closer to Starbase, only 80 miles away–and have about $74 billion left over.
