SpaceX went public, and the Asian girl Guo Can is totally on fire, but what's her current net worth?
At just 27, Guo Can is a launch control engineer for SpaceX's Starship, holding the power to halt launches, with a solid engineering master's background.
Based on SpaceX's hiring info, her cash salary is around $130K, which is way below her Silicon Valley peers, but she's holding 80,000 to 150,000 shares. At an IPO price of $135, her net worth post-IPO is approximately $15 million (≈ 100 million RMB), making her about 10 times richer than that welder making $28 an hour who's already hit the million-dollar mark since SpaceX's IPO. Yesterday, SpaceX's closing price was already near $161, and Guo Can's net worth is still climbing.
With her tank tops and floral tattoos, she's breaking the traditional elite stereotype. Elon Musk's hiring logic is straightforward: he doesn't care about educational background or appearance; he just looks for problem solvers.
Many companies get trapped by 'proper appearances,' while true talent never needs labels to define their worth. $SPCX
