WHAT WE ESTIMATE
varies

WHAT CAN’T BE KNOWN
private
Private company stakes, trusts, cash, debts, and undisclosed assets. Anyone publishing these as a single number is guessing.

HOW THIS IS CALCULATED
We take the shares David Solomon 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
David Solomon was born in 1962 and grew up in Scarsdale, New York. He studied at Hamilton College, where he played rugby, and got into finance the hard way after Goldman Sachs turned him down as an analyst, cutting his teeth on junk bonds at Drexel Burnham and then Bear Stearns.
Goldman brought him back as a partner in 1999 to run leveraged finance. He rose to lead the investment banking division, became president and chief operating officer, and in 2018 took over as chief executive, succeeding Lloyd Blankfein. He is also known for moonlighting as an electronic-dance-music DJ.
Solomon is a hired executive whose stake in Goldman came from years of partner and executive compensation, the anchor of the number shown here.

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.
