Estimate

Current Assessment

Robinhood's 2026 proxy is the key source. It reports Bhatt with more than 61 million Class B shares for beneficial-ownership and voting purposes, but the footnotes show that some of those shares are voting-only and do not represent economic ownership for him. After excluding those shares, his economically attributable Robinhood position appears to be about 51.9 million shares. At a recent public-market price near $105 per share, that stake is worth roughly $5.4 billion before taxes or liquidity adjustments. His new company, Aetherflux/Cowboy Space, has reportedly been valued around $2 billion, but his ownership percentage is not public, so it is treated as upside context rather than a direct addition.

Key caveats

The estimate is sensitive to Robinhood's share price.
Voting control is not the same as economic ownership.
Aetherflux/Cowboy Space may be material, but the founder stake is undisclosed.
No public evidence reviewed here quantified personal debt, taxes, pledges, or real estate.

Evidence gaps

Exact July 1, 2026 HOOD close
Full insider-sale history
Aetherflux ownership percentage
Personal liabilities or pledged shares

Confidence

Medium confidence

72/100

The estimate is supported by available evidence, with meaningful assumptions and caveats.

Key Evidence Gaps

Exact July 1, 2026 HOOD closing price
Complete 2021-2026 SEC Form 4, Form 144, sale, gift, conversion, and pledge history for Bhatt and related entities
Bhatt's fully diluted Aetherflux/Cowboy Space ownership percentage and any proceeds from financing
Personal liabilities, margin loans, pledged shares, taxes, and other encumbrances
Real estate and other private investments

Public Caveats

Estimate is primarily driven by Robinhood equity reported in the April 2026 proxy and adjusted to exclude voting-only shares without investment power.
The Robinhood stake is valued using a recent June 2026 price reference, not the exact July 1, 2026 closing price.
The estimate is pre-tax and does not quantify personal debt, margin loans, pledges, estate-planning transfers, or tax liabilities.
Aetherflux/Cowboy Space is material context, but Bhatt's ownership percentage is not public in the supplied evidence and is not directly added to the estimate.

Uncertainty Drivers

Exact HOOD closing price on July 1, 2026 was not captured in accessible evidence; the model uses a June 17, 2026 market-price anchor.
The proxy beneficial-ownership table includes voting-control shares that are not all economic wealth; the economic-share adjustment is source-backed but still an analyst calculation.
Aetherflux/Cowboy Space may be a large private asset, but Bhatt's post-Series B ownership is undisclosed.
No complete review of Form 4 sales, Rule 144 notices, pledges, margin loans, taxes, or estate-planning transfers was completed in this pass.
Forbes-linked external reporting is secondary in the accessible evidence.
