HOW THIS IS CALCULATED
We take the shares Hock Tan 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
Hock Tan was born in Penang, Malaysia, around 1951 and came to the United States for school, earning mechanical engineering degrees from MIT and an MBA from Harvard. He started in finance roles at General Motors and PepsiCo before moving into the semiconductor industry through a Malaysian conglomerate and a Singapore venture firm.
He became chief executive of a chip company called Integrated Circuit Systems, then led Avago after a 2005 buyout of Agilent’s semiconductor unit. In 2015 he merged Avago with Broadcom and kept the better-known name, building one of the industry’s most acquisitive companies through deals for CA, Symantec’s enterprise arm, and VMware.
Tan is a hired executive, though the value he created shows in his large accumulated Broadcom stake, which is the equity this page measures.

*Estimated net worth is a third-party figure from Forbes (2026), not our own calculation; it is an estimate that changes with the market. The stake value is filing-derived and verifiable; any broader “net worth” is an estimate. Photo: Greg Bezat, d/b/a Bezat Video Group, CC BY-SA 4.0 (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.
