Brian Armstrong Gains $362.37M in a Day as COIN Jumps 9.61%

Brian Armstrong added $362.37M of net worth on July 22, 2026, one of the day's biggest moves among the world's richest people. The swing (+$362.37M, or 7.6%) leaves the fortune at an estimated $5.13B, ranked #46 on our real-time list.

The move traces to COIN, the listed company behind most of the fortune, which climbed 9.61% on the day to 175.85 USD per share. Because a billionaire's wealth is concentrated in stock, daily net worth simply follows the share price multiplied by the shares held.

The gain narrows the gap to Mike Adenuga, who sits one place higher at $6.00B — now $867.53M away. Behind, Michael Saylor follows at $3.30B.

Co-founder and CEO of Coinbase, the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the United States. His stake of roughly 14% carries majority voting control through Coinbase's dual-class share structure.
