Of that, we can independently verify $812M: 951,578 MU shares in their latest Form 4 (SEC ↗). The rest is the third-party estimate.
WHAT WE ESTIMATE
varies
Past cash compensation, sold shares, real estate, and other public holdings — estimable from records, but not exact.
WHAT CAN’T BE KNOWN

Private company stakes, trusts, cash, debts, and undisclosed assets. Anyone publishing these as a single number is guessing.

HOW THIS IS CALCULATED
We take the shares Sanjay Mehrotra 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
Sanjay Mehrotra was born in Kanpur, India, in 1958 and grew up in New Delhi, the son of a father in the cotton industry. He began his engineering studies at BITS Pilani, then transferred to the University of California, Berkeley, for degrees in electrical engineering and computer science, and worked at a series of chip companies including Intel.
In 1988 he co-founded the flash-memory maker SanDisk and eventually ran it as chief executive until Western Digital bought it in 2016. The next year he became chief executive of Micron, the American memory-chip maker, arriving as a rare outside hire with deep industry roots.
Mehrotra founded SanDisk but is a hired executive at Micron, where his stake came from compensation rather than founding ownership, which is what this figure reflects.

*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: 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.
