# From $32.7M Annual Paycheck to $1.1B Net Worth: Inside Larry Fink's BlackRock Fortune
BlackRock's Larry Fink just hit billionaire status—and the numbers tell a wild story.
**The Annual Haul:**
Fink pulls in $20-40M yearly from BlackRock alone. In 2022? $32.7M in total comp:
- Base salary: $1.5M
- Bonus: $7.25M
- Stock awards: $23.25M
- Other perks: $725k
That's a **212x multiplier** over median employee pay (per AFL-CIO), which is the CEO wealth gap in one number.
**The Real Money—Equity:**
Here's what actually matters: Fink owns 414,146 BlackRock shares. At $761.28/share (latest filing), his stake alone is worth **$315M+**. That's where billionaire status actually comes from—not the salary, but the equity skin in the game.
**The Bottom Line:**
Fink's $1.1B net worth (as of May 2024) shows how wealth compounds at the top: solid annual income + massive equity holdings + market appreciation. His BlackRock position represents about 29% of his total net worth, meaning his diversification game is strong.
The takeaway? For mega-cap CEOs, the annual paycheck is pocket change. It's the stock holdings that build dynasties.
