Estimate

Current Assessment

Yuan founded Zoom and remains its president and CEO. Public filings and shareholder summaries show that his wealth is tied overwhelmingly to Zoom equity. Directly reported shares alone are worth about $1.9 billion at a recent ZM close, but that figure excludes indirect holdings. Reputable reporting says Yuan holds about 20% of Zoom, which points to roughly $5 billion of equity value and matches external billionaire-list reporting near $5.1 billion.

Key caveats

The latest primary proxy ownership table was not retrieved for this run.
Trust and family-held shares make direct ownership a lower bound, not a full estimate.
No specific deduction was made for taxes, pledges, liabilities or private diversification because reliable public evidence was not found.

Evidence gaps

Latest 2026 proxy table
Recent Form 4 sales or transfers
Personal liabilities and pledged shares
Private investments or real estate

Confidence

Medium confidence

66/100

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

Key Evidence Gaps

Latest Zoom 2026 DEF 14A beneficial ownership table for Eric S. Yuan.
Yuan's recent Form 4 and Section 16 filing history after March 31, 2025, including sales, transfers, 10b5-1 plans, or trust/GRAT-related changes.
Current diluted share count or market capitalization as of the exact valuation date.
Direct access to Forbes or another primary wealth-list profile for the external $5.1 billion benchmark.
Evidence for personal liabilities, pledged shares, margin loans, tax obligations, real estate, private investments, or retained sale proceeds.

Public Caveats

Medium confidence: identity and public-company role are strongly supported, but current beneficial ownership is not verified from the latest primary proxy or Section 16 filings.
Estimate is primarily a Zoom equity estimate; direct reported shares imply a lower floor, while broader reporting suggests family/beneficial exposure around 20%.
No specific deductions were made for taxes, liabilities, pledged shares, or private assets because the supplied artifacts contain no reliable public evidence for those items.
The market input uses a June 26, 2026 ZM close rather than an exact July 1, 2026 valuation close.

Uncertainty Drivers

The latest 2026 proxy beneficial-ownership table was not directly retrieved in this run.
Reported ownership figures differ: direct holdings exceed 21.70 million shares, while broader reporting says Yuan holds about 20% of Zoom.
The 2021 share transfer to a GRAT/trust structure complicates whether family or trust-held shares should be counted as Yuan's personal net worth.
Market price changed materially during June 2026, and the nearest sourced close was June 26, 2026 rather than July 1, 2026.
No verified personal liabilities, tax obligations, pledged-share arrangements, real estate holdings, or diversified investments were found.
