Rapper 2 Chainz Highlights SpaceX Investors
Alongside the numerous ETFs and mutual funds that own stakes in SpaceX, rapper 2 Chainz is one of the investors. In a March 2026 interview, he shared how the investment came together.
"I know some PE guys that, when it came across their desk, they would give me the opportunity," 2 Chainz said, as reported by Afrotech. "With investments, I gambled … You know, the whole thing is you're just trying to come up with some multiples. I got in with SpaceX very early."
2 Chainz confirmed the investment on the "Earn Your Leisure" podcast, where co-host Troy Millings guessed the rapper couldn't wait for a future IPO. Along with SpaceX, 2 Chainz is also an investor in AI company Anthropic, which could be another highly anticipated 2026 IPO.
Mark Burnett, Hollywood Executives Also Own Shares
Mark Burnett, best known as the creator of "The Apprentice" and the man behind "Survivor" and "Shark Tank" in the U.S., is one of the biggest figures in television production. A report from PageSix says Burnett invested in SpaceX early and stands to benefit from the IPO on Friday.
Other Hollywood figures listed by PageSix that own stakes in SpaceX include:
- Michael Kives: partner, K5 Global; former talent agent
- Ari Emanuel: CEO, WME Group
- Bryan Lourd: CEO, CAA
Lourd is said to have a smaller stake than the others, while K5 Global's stake could be worth billions based on the latest SpaceX valuation. WME Group and CAA are two of the biggest talent agencies in the world.
The SpaceX IPO is set to make millionaires and billionaires among employees, early investors, and more. Some of the figures above are already millionaires and set to increase their net worth even more by getting into the space company led by Elon Musk early. SpaceX will be added to the Nasdaq under the ticker SPCX.
