墨西哥移民焊工成百萬富豪
美國《紐約郵報》報道,42歲的前SpaceX焊工赫南德茲(Juan Hernandez)堪稱這波財富神話的最佳代表。他2015年從墨西哥移民美國,以時薪28美元加入SpaceX,當時甚至不知道這家公司是做什麼的:「當朋友跟我提起SpaceX時,我根本不知道那是什麼公司。」

加入公司後,他獲得約1萬美元員工股票,之後持續透過薪資扣款買進持股。若以IPO價格計算,他持有股票價值已達88萬美元;若以首日盤中價格計算,更突破100萬美元(783萬港元)。赫南德茲表示:「這讓我一輩子都能過得很舒服。」
前發射工程師擁超過10萬股股票
另一名傳奇人物是前發射工程師海斯(Trevor Hise)。2011年,他放棄進入奇異公司(General Electric)的穩定工作機會,選擇加入當時仍被視為高風險新創公司的SpaceX:「當時很多人認為這只是一家不成熟的新創企業,根本撐不了多久。」

12年間,他累積超過10萬股股票,雖然曾出售部分持股支付婚禮與置業首期款,但剩餘股票依IPO價格估算仍價值超過1350萬美元(約1億港元)。現年37歲的海斯坦言:「這一切的規模實在太誇張了。」
與妻子計劃成立基金會回饋社會
目前他已半退休,投入房地產投資,並與妻子計劃成立基金會回饋社會。至於當年反對他加入SpaceX的父母,他笑說:「他們現在非常驕傲。」
