ANCHORING FROM FILINGS

HOW THIS IS CALCULATED
We take the shares Mike Wirth 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
Mike Wirth was born in 1960 and studied chemical engineering at the University of Colorado, where he also played college sports.

He led Chevron’s downstream operations and then became chief executive in 2018. His tenure has emphasized capital discipline and growth in the Permian Basin, along with large acquisitions, and he oversaw the company’s headquarters move from California to Houston.

Ranked by filing-verified stake
The stake value is filing-derived and verifiable; any broader “net worth” is an estimate. 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.
