What is Michael Bloomberg’s net worth?
CelebrityNetWorth estimates his fortune at $95 billion. Almost all of it is the private company he founded in 1981.
Sources-of-wealth
Bloomberg LP sells data terminals, news and trading tools to financial firms. The subscription model produces predictable revenue, and the company is not listed, so there is no public valuation.
He has donated more than $10 billion through Bloomberg Philanthropies, which reduces his personal balance sheet but does not change the underlying business value.
How the fortune was built
He was dismissed from Salomon Brothers in 1981 and used the settlement to build a terminal that gave bond traders instant pricing. Merrill Lynch bought a stake early and helped distribution.
He ran for mayor in 2001 as a Republican, switched to independent, and won three terms. He spent about a billion dollars on a 2020 presidential campaign that lasted four months.
How we estimate it
We publish the CelebrityNetWorth estimate dated 3 November 2026. Bloomberg LP valuation is inferred from revenue and comparable data businesses, since the shares are not traded.
