just came across something wild - larry fink's net worth hit $1.1 billion according to forbes back in 2024. blackrock's ceo is absolutely crushing it financially. the guy makes between $20-40 million annually from blackrock alone, which is insane. in 2022 specifically, his total comp was over $32.7 million - that's base salary, bonuses, stock awards, the whole package. what really got me is that his compensation is like 212 times what the median blackrock employee makes. that's a massive gap. so larry fink's wealth isn't just from salary though - the real money is in his stock holdings. he owns over 414k shares of blackrock, and when you do the math at the 2024 price, that position alone was worth more than $315 million. no wonder his net worth crossed that billion-dollar mark. honestly makes you think about the wealth concentration at the top of these mega-corporations. what's your take on ceo compensation these days?
