How much is Brian Moynihan Worth? Brian Moynihan Net Worth in 2026

By the Alux Research Team. How we estimate net worth

Brian Moynihan’s net worth is estimated at $215 million as of November 2026. Between mid August and November 2, 2026, the fall in Bank of America’s stock took about $41.8 million off the shares he owns, by our math, which is more than the $41 million the board awarded him for all of 2025. Most of his wealth is that stock, built over 16 years as CEO on pay that is almost entirely equity.

How much is Brian Moynihan worth in 2026?

Our figure is $215 million, in a range of $180 million to $250 million. The shares are hard numbers from securities filings. His cash savings are an estimate, and we could not open the pension and deferred pay tables in the proxy, so nothing for those is counted. That gap would push the number up.

Public estimates vary mostly because of the date and the method. The same shares were worth about $181 million at the mid August price and about $139 million on November 2. Some estimates also add up years of pay awards as if they were cash in hand, though much of that pay is unvested, taxed or dependent on future results.

How we got to $215 million

Source	Our estimate	What it rests on
Shares he owns	$139 million	An October 15, 2026 filing shows 2,699,612 shares held directly, 100,000 in a trust and about 3,648 in a 401(k). That’s 2,803,260 shares at the November 2 close of $49.57. We credit them all to him, though the proxy says he shares control of 38,376 with his spouse, about $1.9 million.
Unvested stock awards	$37.4 million	The proxy lists 374,295 time-based and 1,133,145 performance units at March 13, 2026, worth $74.7 million at $49.57. Assumption: half survives tax and performance tests.
Cash units left for 2026	$1.8 million	72,332 cash-settled units remained after October, worth $3.6 million at $49.57. We assume half is left after tax.
Cash pay, 2011 to 2025	$135 million	Assumption: an average award of $25 million a year, with 30 percent paid in cash units plus his $1.5 million salary, is $9 million a year for 15 years.
Tax on that cash	minus $67.5 million	Assumption: 50 percent, the same rate we use on the unvested awards.
Living costs	minus $30 million	Assumption: $2 million a year for 15 years.
Total	$215.7 million	Rows sum to $215.7 million, which we round to the nearest $5 million. Pension, deferred pay and pre-2011 savings aren’t counted.

Same units, smaller checks

Part of his 2025 award is paid in monthly cash units that track the share price, and the filings let you watch the stock fall through his own paycheck. In August he received 18,083 units at $64.49, in September 18,082 at $59.52 and in October 18,083 at $51.70. By our calculation that is about $1.17 million, then $1.08 million, then $935,000: about $231,000 less for the same work.

The bigger hit is on the shares. A drop of $14.92 from $64.49 to $49.57, multiplied by 2,803,260 shares, is $41.8 million. His owned share count barely moved over the period, and the proxy’s March figure of 2,803,195 is almost identical to October’s. The rules push him that way: he must keep half of the net shares from his awards until a year after he retires.

Why $41 million overstates the year

The February 2026 filing breaks down the award: $1.5 million salary and $39.5 million in stock-linked units, with no cash bonus. About $19.75 million of that is performance units that have to be earned again on 2026 to 2028 results, with the target set at 10.5 percent average growth in adjusted tangible book value and a 90 basis point return on assets. A 2019 report said he hadn’t taken a cash bonus since 2007.

Pay has climbed fast: $26.5 million for 2018, $29 million for 2023 and $35 million for 2024, then $41 million. Even so, Fortune’s tally of 2025 pay had Goldman Sachs’ David Solomon at $47 million, Morgan Stanley’s Ted Pick at $45 million, Jamie Dimon at $43 million and Citigroup’s Jane Fraser at $42 million. Only Wells Fargo’s Charlie Scharf, at $40 million, came in lower among those peers.

A career inside the deals

He didn’t arrive through trading. Moynihan joined FleetBoston as deputy general counsel in 1993, came to Bank of America with the 2004 merger, was named to run Merrill Lynch in September 2008 and took the top job in 2010. A small oddity from the proxy: he and the bank are parties to an aircraft time-sharing agreement approved in December 2010.

What would move the number

The share price, by a wide margin: each $1 on the stock changes the owned shares by about $2.8 million, before the unvested awards. After that comes his exit date. He has signaled he wants to stay for years, and leaving would decide what happens to unvested units. Publishing a figure for his pension and deferred pay would also lift our estimate. The remaining 72,332 cash units finish paying in February 2027.
