HOW THIS IS CALCULATED
We take the shares Larry Culp 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
Larry Culp was born in Washington, D.C., in 1963, the son of a man who ran a small welding company. He studied at Washington College and earned an MBA from Harvard, where he later returned to teach. His formative years were spent at Danaher, the industrial conglomerate famous for its operating discipline.
He ran Danaher as chief executive from 2001 to 2014 in a celebrated run, then in 2018 became the first outsider ever to lead General Electric, taking over a company in deep trouble. He broke GE into three, and since 2024 has led the aviation-focused survivor, GE Aerospace.
Culp is a hired executive. His stake came from compensation at Danaher and GE rather than founding ownership, the anchor of this figure.

Ranked by filing-verified stake
*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: Daniel Torok, The White House, Public domain (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.
