This is an estimate of assets minus documented liabilities. It is not a cash balance, and many holdings may be restricted, pledged, illiquid, or difficult to value.
Henry Samueli co-founded Broadcom in 1991 with his former doctoral student Henry Nicholas and remains a director after stepping down as chairman in June 2026. His estimate is built from the Broadcom shares his family partnerships and LLCs report in Form 4 filings, which he files because he still sits on the board.
Samueli, a UCLA engineering professor, commercialized broadband communications chips that became standard in cable modems and set-top boxes. Broadcom listed in 1998, was acquired by Avago in 2016 in a deal that kept the Broadcom name, and has since grown through software acquisitions including VMware.
The estimate moves with Broadcom's share price. Scheduled sales under his December 2025 trading plan reduce the count in batches that appear in Form 4 filings.
Henry Samueli's estimate rose mainly because Broadcom Inc. shares increased from the prior comparable close.
A one-day estimate change is not the same as income, profit, or a realized gain or loss.

Liabilities without a documented value are never shown as zero; they are simply not included, and that limitation is part of source coverage below.
100.0% of this profile's modeled gross value is supported by Tier 1 or Tier 2 evidence (primary filings, official documents, licensed market data, or audited accounts). The profile carries a strong coverage label.
No meaningful range beyond the central estimate is supported for this profile, so only the central value is published. Unknown liabilities are not evidence that no liabilities exist. No personal liability is documented for this profile, so none is deducted.
