HOW THIS IS CALCULATED
We take the shares Hans Vestberg 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
Hans Vestberg was born in Hudiksvall, Sweden, in 1965 and studied business administration at Uppsala University, unusual for a telecom leader in that he came up through finance rather than engineering. He joined the Swedish equipment maker Ericsson in 1991 and worked across Sweden, Brazil, Mexico, China, and the United States.
He rose to run Ericsson as chief executive from 2010 to 2015, then joined Verizon as chief technology officer in 2017 and became its chief executive in 2018, overseeing the carrier’s build-out of 5G and fiber.
Vestberg is a hired executive. His Verizon stake was built from stock compensation, the anchor of the number here.

Ranked by filing-verified stake
The stake value is filing-derived and verifiable; any broader “net worth” is an estimate. Photo: Vogler, CC BY-SA 3.0 (Wikimedia Commons). 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. This is not an official or complete accounting of anyone’s wealth. Educational only — not investment advice.
