HOW THIS IS CALCULATED
We take the shares Mary Barra 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
Mary Barra was born in Royal Oak, Michigan, in 1961 into a Finnish-American family whose father spent nearly forty years as a die maker at General Motors. She started at GM herself at eighteen, inspecting fender panels and hoods as a co-op student to help pay for college, and earned an engineering degree from the company’s own institute, now Kettering University, followed by a Stanford MBA on a GM fellowship.
She rose through engineering, manufacturing, and human resources, ran product development, and in 2014 became chief executive, the first woman to lead a major global automaker. She took over weeks before the ignition-switch recall crisis and later staked the company’s future on electric vehicles.
Barra is a hired executive who spent her whole career at GM. Her stake came from stock compensation, the anchor of this figure.

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.
