Brian Moynihan is Chair & CEO of Bank of America (BAC). Most of a public-company CEO’s on-paper wealth is their stake in that company — anchored here on the number you can verify.
Past cash compensation, sold shares, real estate, and other public holdings — estimable from records, but not exact.
Private company stakes, trusts, cash, debts, and undisclosed assets. Anyone publishing these as a single number is guessing.

We take the shares Brian Moynihan reports owning in their most recent SEC Form 4 and multiply by the latest share price. That gives a stake value you can check against the filing itself. Everything beyond that stake — real estate, private holdings, cash, past compensation — is estimated or simply not public, and we say so rather than roll it into one number.
Brian Moynihan grew up the sixth of eight children in a close Irish Catholic family in Marietta, Ohio. He went to Brown University, where he co-captained the rugby team, and then to Notre Dame for law school, starting his career as a corporate lawyer in Providence.
He moved into banking in 1993 at FleetBoston and came to Bank of America through its 2004 merger. He was handed the job of integrating Merrill Lynch after the bank’s troubled 2008 acquisition, and in January 2010 he became chief executive, spending years steering the company out of its financial-crisis legal and financial wreckage.
Moynihan is a hired executive. His Bank of America stake came from more than a decade of stock compensation, which is what this figure reflects.

Share counts are the latest reported on SEC filings and change as the executive trades; the price is the last close, so the stake value moves with the market.
