Why two dates?

"Valued as of" is the effective date of the market closes, exchange rates, and filings inside the estimate. "Sources checked" is when the pipeline last verified those sources successfully. A weekend check can confirm a Friday valuation without inventing weekend movement.

As of September 4, 2026, Robert Pera's estimated net worth is about $32.6B(32.6 billion US dollars). That places Robert Pera at #13 among the people Net Worth Leader currently tracks.

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.

Summary

Robert Pera founded Ubiquiti in 2003 and still owns roughly 93 percent of the networking-equipment maker, one of the most concentrated founder stakes among large listed US companies. The estimate is a single listed holding valued at each Ubiquiti close.

How the fortune was built

Pera left Apple to build low-cost wireless gear for underserved markets, took Ubiquiti public in 2011, and has bought back stock rather than sell, which pushed his ownership above nine tenths. He also owns the Memphis Grizzlies.

What drives the estimate

The estimate is effectively one position and moves with Ubiquiti's share price, which is thinly traded relative to the company's size because so few shares are in public hands.

Why the estimate changed

Robert Pera's estimate declined mainly because Ubiquiti Inc. shares decreased from the prior comparable close.

  • Ubiquiti common stock: estimated decrease of 917.3 million US dollars (market price)

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.

Source coverage and uncertainty

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.

Person-specific methodology notes

The share count of 56,278,181 comes from Ubiquiti's October 2025 proxy statement. Because he files few Form 4 transactions, the count is expected to change rarely. The Memphis Grizzlies and other private assets are not modeled.

Identity facts stored separately for this profile: citizenship United States; residence United States; ranking attribution United States. Attribution reason: Citizenship, residence, and the headquarters of the companies that drive the estimate are all in the United States.
