Larry Robbins Net Worth

Larry Robbins has an estimated net worth of $2.2 billion, according to Forbes Real-Time Billionaires, Larry Robbins profile (figures as of October 20, 2026). That is up from $1.9 billion in 2019.

Larry Robbins is an American hedge fund manager who founded Glenview Capital Management and still leads the firm as CEO. He started his career at Gleacher & Company in New York, then moved to Omega Advisors, where he worked as an analyst and partner on the US equity long/short team. In 2000, he left Omega and launched Glenview, the New York hedge fund that became the main source of his wealth.

Robbins built his reputation through stock picking and a patient style. Unlike many hedge funds, Glenview is known for holding stocks for years and not using stop-losses. In 2012, he made a successful call on hospital companies that he believed would benefit from Obamacare. Forbes says his fortune was $2.2 billion on its real-time billionaires tracker as of October 20, 2026. Outside investing, he supports education reform through the Robbins Family Foundation.

How Larry Robbins built his fortune

Most of Larry Robbins' wealth comes from hedge funds. He is the founder and CEO of Glenview Capital Management, a New York firm that oversees $2.6 billion in assets, according to Forbes. Before starting Glenview in 2000, he worked at Gleacher & Company and then at Omega Advisors. Those jobs gave him experience in deals, research, and long/short investing before he launched his own fund.

His investing style helped define Glenview's approach. Robbins is known for keeping positions for long periods instead of trading quickly, and he does not use stop-losses. One of his best known calls came in 2012, when he invested in hospital companies that he believed would gain from Obamacare. Forbes also notes that his performance has had hot and cold stretches, with returns swinging sharply from one year to the next.

Forbes wealth estimate over time

Forbes placed Larry Robbins at $1.9 billion on its World's Billionaires List for 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023. That long stretch points to a fortune tied closely to the value of his hedge fund business and investment results. Because Forbes describes his returns as volatile, changes in portfolio performance can have a direct effect on how his wealth is measured from year to year.

The Forbes estimate later moved higher to $2.2 billion on the 2024, 2025, and 2026 World's Billionaires lists. Forbes also showed the same $2.2 billion on its real-time billionaires tracker in October 2026. Beyond investing, Robbins has also taken on major nonprofit roles. In 2017, he became chairman of the Robin Hood Foundation, and his family foundation has backed education reform in New York City and across the US.
