Larry Fink, the co-founder, chairman, and CEO of BlackRock, is one of the most influential people in the finance sector. BlackRock is the largest asset manager in the world, with reportedly around $14 trillion in assets under management (AUM) as of 2026. Being at the helm of the largest global asset manager, Fink’s paycheck must be quite hefty. Let’s discuss how much the BlackRock CEO makes in a year, and his total net worth in 2026.
BlackRock CEO Larry Fink’s Salary And Net Worth In 2026
According to a proxy filing from BlackRock, CEO Larry Fink’s compensation rose to a whopping $37.7 million. The surge follows a successful year for the asset manager. The paycheck included a base salary of $1.5 million and a bonus of $10.6 million. Moreover, it included a $6.5 million rise in stock awards. Fink’s pay package in 2024 was $30.8 million.
According to Forbes, Fink’s net worth as of March 30, 2026, is $1.3 billion, making him the 2841st richest person in the world.
While Fink’s pay check is quite a figure, the BlackRock CEO had, in fact, voted against executive pay in 2025. Proxy adviser Institutional Shareholder Services advised investors against the pay of top executives. However, 67% of voters voted in favor of executive payment.
Fink’s pay is expected to surge further in the coming years as BlackRock looks towards even bigger returns. In a letter to shareholders, Fink stated, “We’re entering 2026 with elevated momentum and we’re positioned ahead of significant future opportunities.“
