Estimate

Current Assessment

Ericsson discloses that Ekholm held 854,288 Class B shares and 1,009,000 ADS at the end of 2025. Each ADS represents one Class B share, giving him 1.86 million share equivalents. Around SEK 110 per share, that stake is worth about SEK 205 million. Ericsson also reported 2025 remuneration of SEK 102.7 million, up from SEK 71.6 million in 2024 and SEK 49.9 million in 2023. Those pay figures are gross and do not translate directly into net worth. The estimate excludes unvested awards and any value tied to Ericsson's market capitalization beyond shares he personally holds.

Key caveats

No public source found here gives a complete statement of Ekholm's private assets or debts.
The value of his Ericsson stake changes with Ericsson's share price.
Prior Investor AB wealth and Trimble board compensation remain under-sourced in this run.

Evidence gaps

Current insider transaction filings after December 31, 2025.
Real estate, mortgages, pledges, and private investments.
Detailed prior-employer compensation or retained equity.

Confidence

Low confidence

58/100

Important source, ownership, or liability gaps materially limit the estimate reliability.

Key Evidence Gaps

Publication-date Ericsson share price from a primary market data source.
Swedish Finansinspektionen or equivalent insider transaction filings after December 31, 2025.
Trimble latest proxy evidence for director/chair compensation and beneficial holdings.
Investor AB and Patricia Industries historical compensation, incentive holdings, or retained proceeds.
Personal real estate, mortgages, pledges, tax obligations, private investments, and other liabilities.

Public Caveats

Low confidence: the estimate is anchored on disclosed Ericsson holdings and compensation, but does not include a complete private balance sheet.
Disclosed Ericsson holdings were 854,288 Class B shares and 1,009,000 ADS as of December 31, 2025; later transactions were not verified in the supplied artifacts.
The SEK 300m-SEK 500m base range includes modeled retained savings from gross compensation and long-career context; those savings are not directly observed.
Unvested or performance-contingent equity awards are excluded unless separately disclosed as beneficially owned.

Uncertainty Drivers

No public balance sheet for personal cash, diversified investments, real estate, mortgages, tax obligations, or pledges.
The current value of Ericsson holdings moves materially with Ericsson's share price and currency rates.
Gross executive compensation does not reveal taxes paid, spending, share sales, or reinvestment choices.
Prior Investor AB and Patricia Industries compensation or holdings were not quantified from primary sources in this run.
Post-2025 share transactions or 2026 LTV vesting could change holdings after the annual report date.
