Estimate

Current Assessment

The estimate is driven by Salesforce. Bloomberg reported that Benioff owned about 2.4% of Salesforce according to a November 2025 regulatory filing and had collected more than $4 billion from Salesforce share sales. It listed his net worth at $9.28 billion on May 13, 2026. Known private assets include TIME, bought by Marc and Lynne Benioff for $190 million in 2018, Time Ventures, and real estate in Hawaii. Those private holdings add context but are not valued precisely because current ownership details and market values are not public.

Key caveats

The latest direct SEC ownership filing was not independently refreshed in this run.
Salesforce stock movement after the cited valuation dates can shift the estimate by hundreds of millions of dollars.
Private assets and liabilities are not fully visible from public sources.

Evidence gaps

Current Form 4 or proxy share count
Exact CRM market value on the access date
Current valuation of TIME, Time Ventures, and real estate holdings
Debt, pledged shares, or other personal liabilities

Confidence

Medium confidence

72/100

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

Key Evidence Gaps

Direct current SEC beneficial ownership, Form 4, and option exposure for Marc Benioff.
CRM closing price and diluted share count on July 1, 2026 or the nearest prior trading day.
Detailed current valuation and ownership allocation for TIME and Time Ventures.
Direct county property records, current appraisals, and mortgage/debt records for personal real estate holdings.
Personal liabilities, pledged shares, margin loans, or other private debt evidence.

Public Caveats

Estimate relies heavily on Bloomberg's May 13, 2026 wealth profile and its cited Salesforce ownership mechanics.
The latest direct Salesforce SEC ownership filing and Form 4 activity were not independently refreshed in the supplied artifacts.
Salesforce share-price movement after the cited valuation dates could shift the estimate by hundreds of millions of dollars.
TIME, Time Ventures, Hawaii real estate, liabilities, pledged shares, and private debt are not fully visible from public evidence.

Uncertainty Drivers

The direct November 2025 regulatory filing behind the 2.4% ownership figure was not independently opened in this run.
Salesforce share price and market capitalization may have moved materially between the cited May 2026 Bloomberg valuation, the early-2026 MarketWatch reference, and the 2026-07-01 access date.
Bloomberg's cash/investments estimate is not fully itemized in the accessible page text.
TIME, Time Ventures, and private investments have no public current valuation.
Hawaii real estate reporting includes philanthropic and donated parcels, making personal retained property value difficult to separate.
