Person profile
Co-founder, chairman, and chief executive of Blackstone
"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, Stephen Schwarzman's estimated net worth is about $31.1B(31.1 billion US dollars). That places Stephen Schwarzman at #14 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.
Stephen Schwarzman co-founded Blackstone in 1985 and has led it into the largest alternative asset manager in the world. His estimate values the Blackstone Holdings partnership units he reports as owned, which exchange one-for-one for listed common stock, at Blackstone's share price.
Schwarzman and Peter Peterson started Blackstone as a merger advisory boutique, raised their first buyout fund in 1987, and expanded into real estate, credit, and hedge-fund solutions before the 2007 listing. He has kept most of his founder economics in partnership units rather than selling.
The estimate tracks Blackstone's share price. The unit count changes rarely because he does not sell; distributions and carried interest are not accumulated into the estimate.
Stephen Schwarzman's estimate declined mainly because Blackstone Inc. shares decreased 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.
The timeline runs from June 12, 2026 to September 4, 2026; the latest estimate is higher than the first point. Points before August 20, 2026 are labeled modeled reconstructions: today's reviewed ownership records applied to the closing prices of each earlier market date. Published history begins August 20, 2026 and grows one point per completed market date.
