HOW THIS IS CALCULATED
We take the shares Larry Fink 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 Fink was born in Los Angeles in 1952 and grew up in Van Nuys, the son of a shoe-store owner and an English professor. He earned a political science degree and an MBA from UCLA, then joined First Boston in 1976 and became one of the pioneers of mortgage-backed securities. A large trading loss in 1986 ended that chapter and shaped how he thought about risk.
In 1988 he co-founded BlackRock, at first inside Blackstone, on the idea that managing risk mattered as much as picking investments. He built it into the largest asset manager in the world, a position cemented by the 2009 purchase of Barclays Global Investors and its iShares exchange-traded funds.
Fink is a co-founder, so his wealth includes a genuine founding stake in BlackRock alongside decades of compensation, which is the equity this page tracks.

*Estimated net worth is a third-party figure from Forbes (2026), not our own calculation; it is an estimate that changes with the market.

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.
