Source: Forbes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Born in China, Yuan&#8217;s journey to creating a tech empire is a story of hard work and innovation. Before launching Zoom, he worked at WebEx, which was later acquired by Cisco. His technical expertise from those early days played a huge role in Zoom&#8217;s success.<\/p>\n<p>Although the Zoom CEO&#8217;s wealth has grown significantly, he remains grounded. In 2021, he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/business-56318577\" target=\"_blank\">transferred $6 billion worth of Zoom shares to a trust,<\/a> which is considered a move toward philanthropic giving. Yuan is also a family man, married with three children, and tends to keep his personal life private.<\/p>\n<p>His rise to billionaire status is closely linked to Zoom&#8217;s success, which has had a massive impact on his net worth.<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-note\"  style=\"border-color:#e5e54c;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#FFFF66;border-color:#ffffff;color:#333333;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\">\n<h3>Eric Yuan Quick Facts<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><div class=\"su-table su-table-responsive su-table-alternate\">\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th><strong>Quick Facts<\/strong><\/th>\n<th><strong>Details<\/strong><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Full Name<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Eric S.

Zoom&#8217;s incredible growth, particularly during the pandemic, boosted his wealth, though it has gone up and down as the company&#8217;s stock value has shifted.<\/p>\n<p>Before Zoom, Eric Yuan&#8217;s net worth was much smaller, estimated at less than $100 million, mainly from his time at WebEx, which Cisco later bought. But when Zoom went public in 2019, his fortune took off, and he became a billionaire.<\/p>\n<h3>Current Net Worth<\/h3>\n<p>So, what is Eric Yuan&#8217;s net worth in 2024?<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-note\"  style=\"border-color:#e5e54c;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#FFFF66;border-color:#ffffff;color:#333333;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\">\nAccording to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/profile\/eric-yuan\/\" target=\"_blank\">Forbes<\/a>, <strong>Eric Yuan&#8217;s net worth in 2024 stands at $4.5 billion<\/strong>, making him the 775th billionaire in the world as of October 18, 2024.<br \/>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"infogram-embed\" data-id=\"babafa2e-e209-4b61-99cd-b23d4094be20\" data-type=\"interactive\" data-title=\"Eric Yuan\u2019s Net Worth\"><\/div>\n<p><script>!function(e,n,i,s){var d=\"InfogramEmbeds\";var o=e.getElementsByTagName(n)[0];if(window[d]&&window[d].initialized)window[d].process&&window[d].process();else if(!e.getElementById(i)){var r=e.createElement(n);r.async=1,r.id=i,r.src=s,o.parentNode.insertBefore(r,o)}}(document,\"script\",\"infogram-async\",\"https:\/\/e.infogram.com\/js\/dist\/embed-loader-min.js\");<\/script><\/p>\n<h3>Wealth Fluctuations<\/h3>\n<p>Eric Yuan&#8217;s net worth has had its ups and downs over the years, largely influenced by Zoom&#8217;s stock performance.<\/p>\n<p>When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, Zoom became essential for remote work and virtual meetings, sending Yuan&#8217;s net worth soaring. In 2021, at the height of the company&#8217;s success, his wealth reached a peak of $14.9 billion.<\/p>\n<p>However, as things started returning to normal and Zoom&#8217;s stock value settled, Yuan&#8217;s net worth dropped, going down to $3.4 billion in 2023. A big factor in this decline was also his decision to transfer $6 billion worth of Zoom shares to a trust for philanthropic reasons in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>More recently, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.investing.com\/news\/insider-trading-news\/zoom-ceo-eric-yuan-sells-over-4-million-in-stock-93CH-3658997\" target=\"_blank\">in October 2024, the Zoom CEO sold 58,454 shares of Zoom<\/a>, earning about $4 million. This sale was part of a pre-arranged trading plan that allows executives to sell shares without concerns about insider trading.<\/p>\n<p>While such sales often get attention, they don&#8217;t always mean there&#8217;s a lack of confidence in the company. For Yuan, this sale was likely a personal financial decision, not a reflection of Zoom&#8217;s future.<\/p>\n<h3>Eric Yuan&#8217;s Net Worth Before Zoom<\/h3>\n<p>Before Zoom&#8217;s IPO in 2019, Eric Yuan&#8217;s net worth was estimated to be under $100 million.<\/p>\n<p>It wasn&#8217;t until Zoom&#8217;s explosive success, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, that Yuan&#8217;s fortune saw a major boost. His early career gave him the technical know-how, but it was Zoom that turned him into a billionaire.<\/p>\n<p>Before Zoom, his wealth primarily came from his salary and stock options at WebEx, which, while significant, was nowhere near the heights he would later reach.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"current_projects_investments\">Current Projects &amp; Investments<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Zoom: <\/strong>Eric Yuan remains highly active as CEO of Zoom Video Communications, where he continues to lead innovations such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/news\/zoom-launches-custom-avatars-and-enhanced-ai-companion\">AI advancements<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Angel investing:<\/strong> Yuan is a dedicated <a href=\"https:\/\/pitchbook.com\/profiles\/investor\/221936-32\" target=\"_blank\">angel investor<\/a>, backing 36 companies across industries such as logistics, business software, and healthcare, with notable investments in Trendsi and Kintsugi.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Advisory roles: <\/strong>Yuan also serves as an advisor to <a href=\"https:\/\/nttvc.com\/team\/\" target=\"_blank\">NTTVC<\/a> and Good AI Capital, where he offers his knowledge in technology and AI.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Intuit:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/investors.intuit.com\/corporate-governance\/board-of-directors\" target=\"_blank\">Yuan joined Intuit&#8217;s board<\/a> in 2023, contributing to key committees like Audit and Risk and Nomination and Governance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span id=\"early_ventures_education\">Early Ventures &amp; Education<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Eric Yuan&#8217;s education journey is a great example of how persistence can shape success.<\/p>\n<p>His path began with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techopedia.com\/best-stem-majors\">bachelor&#8217;s degree in applied mathematics<\/a> and a master&#8217;s in geology engineering in China. Despite early challenges, including nine visa rejections, Yuan moved to Silicon Valley, inspired by Bill Gates. He later honed his leadership skills through an executive program at Stanford.<\/p>\n<p>His education and vision led to the creation of Zoom, making him a prominent figure in the tech world today.<\/p>\n<div class=\"infogram-embed\" data-id=\"ecf6a752-b043-4fb6-ad7d-44c60ddb3d72\" data-type=\"interactive\" data-title=\"Eric Yuan\u2019s Net Worth\"><\/div>\n<p><script>!function(e,n,i,s){var d=\"InfogramEmbeds\";var o=e.getElementsByTagName(n)[0];if(window[d]&&window[d].initialized)window[d].process&&window[d].process();else if(!e.getElementById(i)){var r=e.createElement(n);r.async=1,r.id=i,r.src=s,o.parentNode.insertBefore(r,o)}}(document,\"script\",\"infogram-async\",\"https:\/\/e.infogram.com\/js\/dist\/embed-loader-min.js\");<\/script><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"personal_life_real_estate\">Personal Life &amp; Real Estate<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Zoom CEO&#8217;s personal life centers around his close-knit family. Eric Yuan&#8217;s wife, Sherry, has been his lifelong partner, and they share three children. Eric Yuan&#8217;s son, Roy Yuan, plays on the Stanford basketball team and hosts a YouTube channel with more than 40,000 subscribers.<\/p>\n<p>Despite his success with Zoom, Yuan values privacy when it comes to his personal life. The Eric Yuan family lives in a quiet home in Saratoga, California, which offers them a peaceful retreat from the fast pace of Silicon Valley, allowing Yuan to balance his work and family life.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"philanthropy_spending\">Philanthropy &amp; Spending<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Eric Yuan&#8217;s philanthropy stands out, especially through his efforts with Zoom Cares, the charitable arm of his company.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/zoomcares.zoom.us\/\" target=\"_blank\">Zoom Cares<\/a>, the social impact arm of Zoom, supports causes like mental health, climate solutions, and education with a focus on underserved communities. In FY2024, Zoom Cares donated $1.7 million worth of products and $3.77 million in grants across 20 countries. Its approach is all about making real, long-lasting change by partnering with grassroots organizations. It prioritizes funding smaller nonprofits, especially those led by people of color and provides multi-year grants, giving these groups the freedom and resources to focus on what truly matters: creating impact.<\/p>\n<p>In 2021, the Zoom founder made the news when he transferred $6 billion in Zoom shares to a trust, underlining his dedication to giving back. He made the news again when he committed <a href=\"https:\/\/investors.zoom.us\/node\/9331\/pdf\" target=\"_blank\">$2 million to global nonprofits during Zoomtopia 2021<\/a>, addressing the importance of mental well-being after the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, Yuan&#8217;s approach is thoughtful, focusing on education, climate change, and social equity. Although his Forbes philanthropy score is relatively low (he has only given away 1% of his wealth), it appears that he has a certain level of commitment to making a positive global impact.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"the_bottom_line\">The Bottom Line<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Eric Yuan&#8217;s net worth stands at $4.5 billion in 2024, reflecting his success as the founder of Zoom Video Communications. Zoom&#8217;s rapid rise, particularly during the pandemic, fueled his wealth, although stock fluctuations have impacted his fortune over time.<\/p>\n<p>Despite this, the Zoom founder remains committed to giving back, having donated $6 billion in shares to a charitable trust. Through Zoom Cares, he also supports education, mental health, and climate solutions. Yuan&#8217;s approach to philanthropy focuses on long-term, community-driven change, showing his dedication to creating a positive impact globally.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"faqs\">FAQs<\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"man_faq_sec\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/FAQPage\"><\/time><section class=\"ms_faq ms_card \" ><div itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\"><div class=\"accordionButton\"><h3 itemprop=\"name\">What is Eric Yuan&#8217;s salary?<\/h3> <\/div>\n<div class=\"accordionContent\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\" style=\"display:none;\"><p itemprop=\"text\">According to Salary.com, as of October 18, 2024, Eric Yuan made $28,082,133 in total compensation, according to proxy statements filed for the 2024 fiscal year.
