St. Clair was reportedly offered $40 million to sign a nondisclosure agreement.
She declined the offer, according to a Page Six report published June 19, 2026.
No public explanation for the refusal has been given by either party.
The sum reported — $40 million — is the largest NDA figure to surface in Musk's ongoing paternity coverage.

Ashley St. Clair, the conservative commentator and mother of Elon Musk's son Romulus, was offered $40 million to sign a nondisclosure agreement — and turned it down, according to a Page Six report published June 19, 2026.

The figure is notable on its own terms. For reference, the median U.S. household income in 2024 was approximately $80,000. The reported offer represents roughly 500 years of it.

St. Clair has not issued a public statement explaining the refusal. Musk's representatives did not provide comment to Page Six at time of publication.

Romulus, the child St. Clair shares with Musk, is among the tech trillionaire's growing list of acknowledged children. The exact terms of the proposed agreement — what it covered, who drafted it, and when it was presented — are not detailed in the Page Six account.

What is detailed: the number. Forty million dollars. Declined.

The story, as currently on record, does not include what St. Clair is planning to say instead.
