HOW THIS IS CALCULATED
We take the shares Darren Woods 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.
BIOGRAPHY
Darren Woods was born in Wichita, Kansas, in 1965, the son of a military supplier, and moved often near military bases as a child. He earned an electrical engineering degree from Texas A&M and an MBA from Northwestern, then joined Exxon in 1992 and spent more than two decades in its refining and chemicals operations.
He rose to run those downstream businesses, became president, and in 2017 took over as chairman and chief executive, succeeding Rex Tillerson. His tenure has centered on shale growth in the Permian Basin, the large acquisition of Pioneer Natural Resources, and a push into carbon capture.
Woods is a hired executive and long-tenured company insider. His ExxonMobil stake came from accumulated compensation, the anchor of this figure.

Ranked by filing-verified stake

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.
