Estimate

Current Assessment

Tenev's wealth is mainly the value of his Robinhood stake. Public references to Robinhood's 2026 proxy put his economic ownership at about 5.4%, with much higher voting power. The Wall Street Journal reported in late 2025 that the stake had reached nearly $6 billion, but Robinhood shares later weakened in 2026, so a lower current range is more defensible. His AI startup Harmonic may add value, but the public record does not disclose his exact stake.

Key caveats

The estimate depends heavily on Robinhood's share price and Tenev's current beneficial ownership.
Harmonic is included only as a low-confidence private-company add-on.
No reliable public evidence was found for personal debt, pledges, taxes, real estate, or diversified liquid assets.

Evidence gaps

Direct extraction of the 2026 proxy ownership table is still needed.
Current insider-sale filings and a point-in-time HOOD price should be checked before final publication.

Confidence

Medium confidence

62/100

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

Key Evidence Gaps

Direct 2026 Robinhood proxy ownership table for Tenev, including shares, exercisable options/RSUs, voting power, and footnotes.
Point-in-time HOOD closing price or market capitalization for July 1, 2026.
Tenev-specific Form 4 filings after the proxy record date.
Evidence for stock pledges, margin loans, derivative hedges, 10b5-1 plans, or other encumbrances.
Tenev's exact Harmonic ownership percentage and share class economics.

Public Caveats

This is a broad estimate driven primarily by the value of Vlad Tenev's Robinhood equity.
The 5.4% economic ownership anchor is based on a public reference citing Robinhood's 2026 proxy; the persisted artifacts do not include direct extraction of the proxy ownership table.
The estimate does not use a captured July 1, 2026 HOOD closing price, so current market volatility could move the range materially.
Harmonic is included only as a low-confidence private-company add-on because Tenev's ownership percentage is not public in the supplied evidence.

Uncertainty Drivers

Direct SEC proxy table extraction was not available in the browsing session, so the 5.4% ownership figure should be refreshed from the Form 14-A before publication.
HOOD live share price and exact July 1, 2026 market capitalization were not retrievable through the finance tool.
Tenev's post-proxy insider sales, gifts, transfers, pledges, or derivatives may materially change the current economic exposure.
Harmonic's valuation is public, but Tenev's ownership percentage is not.
No public evidence found for personal tax liabilities, real estate, debt, or diversified liquid portfolio.

Evidence

Reviewed Signals

Signal	Value	Confidence
Forbes external wealth profile Forbes profile and Forbes 400 references provide weak external validation that Tenev remains a billionaire, but no accessible current number was retrieved.	n/a	45/100
Robinhood IPO liquidity event Robinhood's 2021 IPO created public-market liquidity and a visible valuation path, but the IPO valuation is historical.	$32,000,000,000	76/100
Robinhood public equity stake Tenev's material personal asset is his Robinhood economic ownership. A proxy-cited 5.4% stake and late-2025 press mark near $6 billion are adjusted downward for 2026 stock weakness.	$4,300,000,000	70/100
