Sources checked
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, Vlad Tenev's estimated net worth is about $5.9B(5.9 billion US dollars). That places Vlad Tenev at #26 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

Vlad Tenev co-founded Robinhood in 2013 and has run it since its 2021 listing, steering the commission-free brokerage into crypto, retirement accounts, and prediction markets. His estimate values his high-vote Class B shares at the Class A price using his July 2026 Form 4.

How the fortune was built

Tenev and Baiju Bhatt built high-frequency trading software before launching Robinhood's mobile app in 2015. The company listed in July 2021 and joined the S&P 500 in September 2025.

What drives the estimate

The estimate tracks Robinhood's share price. Scheduled sales convert Class B shares into Class A shares before they are sold, and each step appears in his filings.

Why the estimate changed

Vlad Tenev's estimate declined mainly because Robinhood Markets, Inc. shares decreased from the prior comparable close.

  • Robinhood Class B common stock held directly (converts one-for-one into Class A): estimated decrease of 126.0 million US dollars (market price)
  • Robinhood Class A common stock held by a living trust: estimated decrease of 18,027 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.

Documented assumptions applied to this profile

  • Trust and holding-company shares reported as beneficially owned are counted. Shares held through revocable trusts, grantor retained annuity trusts, family partnerships, and holding companies are counted when the person reports them as beneficially owned with sole voting and dispositive power. Shares held by independent charitable foundations or explicitly disclaimed by the person are excluded.
