AMD CEO Lisa Su Nears Billionaire Status
17 Oct
Summary
- Lisa Su owns 3.6 million AMD shares, valued over $2 billion.
- She holds more AMD stock than any other current executive.
- AMD's market cap approached $1 trillion by late 2026.
Lisa Su, who joined Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) in 2012 and became CEO in 2014, has been instrumental in the company's remarkable turnaround. By late 2026, AMD's market capitalization was nearing $1 trillion, a testament to Su's strategic focus on artificial intelligence and data centers.
Through stock awards and performance-based units granted over her tenure, Su accumulated a significant personal stake. As of a September 2026 SEC filing, she directly and indirectly owned 3.6 million shares, representing a 0.2% stake. These shares were valued at over $2 billion in mid-October 2026, with the share price around $562.23.
Su's holdings exceed those of any other current AMD executive, including CTO Mark D. Papermaster, who owned approximately 1.67 million shares as of August 2026. While it's possible other individual shareholders own more, their stakes are less than 5% and thus not publicly disclosed.
Institutional investors hold the vast majority of AMD's stock, with The Vanguard Group and BlackRock being the largest, owning approximately 9.7% and 9.2% respectively. Su's personal wealth significantly increased due to her growing share ownership and AMD's soaring stock price, positioning her among tech CEO billionaires by 2024.
