What is Jamie Dimon’s net worth?
Jamie Dimon's net worth:
Based on the latest available 2025 data, Jamie Dimon’s net worth is estimated to be $2.6 billion.1
Jamie Dimon is synonymous with money. One of the most influential figures on Wall Street, he’s been running the biggest bank in the U.S., JP Morgan Chase, since 2006 and was a high-ranking executive at several other powerful financial institutions before that.2
Dimon’s vast experience managing banking stocks and ownership of a large stake in the company he runs has made him incredibly wealthy, especially on paper. According to Forbes, Dimon has an estimated net worth of $2.6 billion.3
Most of Dimon’s wealth is tied up in the millions of shares he holds in JPMorgan Chase. The rest largely comes from his paycheck, performance-based bonuses and returns from selling shares.4
How did Jamie Dimon make his fortune?
Jamie Dimon’s fortune came from a long and successful career as a banking executive. He entered the field in the early 1980s and gradually turned heads for his ability to generate profits and deliver shareholder value even during times of financial turmoil. Since taking the reins of JPMorgan Chase in 2006, the bank’s shares have returned about 716%.5
A glittering resume has netted Dimon hundreds of millions of dollars over the years in salary, bonuses and stock awards. In 2024, he earned about $39 million from his day job. Most of Dimon’s executive compensation is linked to performance. His base salary is $1.5 million, with the rest of his earnings coming from bonuses paid in cash and shares.6
Dimon’s JPMorgan Chase shares account for the majority of his wealth, and is said to own about 6.5 million of them. When the markets closed May 5, 2025, JPM shares traded at $251 apiece. Multiply that number by 6.5 million, and you get over $1.63 billion.7
Owning several high-value homes also boosts his net worth. Dimon’s properties include a Park Avenue apartment in New York City and a 34-acre estate in Bedford, New York.8
Jamie Dimon’s holdings
Jamie Dimon's primary holding is JPMorgan Chase & Co. stock, which he’s recently been selling off in small portions as part of a 10b5-1(c) automatic trading plan he set up in February 2025. He plans to sell up to 1 million shares through the program by August 1, 2025, citing “financial diversification and tax planning” as the reason. These moves will net Dimon a lot of money while allowing him to retain a significant stake in the company.9
It’s possible Dimon holds other investments in his personal portfolio. However, he is not required to publicly disclose them unless he owns more than 5% of another public company or if the investment poses a conflict of interest.

Salary info
Jamie Dimon's salary:
In 2024, Dimon was paid a base salary of $1.5 million and an extra $37.5 million in performance-based compensation.10
Dimon’s base salary of $1.5 million is high for a U.S. bank — and he earns much more when accounting for bonuses.
Dimon’s earnings reflect JPMorgan Chase’s performance. In 2024, he earned a total of $39 million, $1.5 million of which was his base salary. The rest came from a $5 million cash bonus and a reported $32.5 million in shares, awarded after the company registered a record profit that year.11
In 2023, Dimon’s base salary was also $1.5 million, but he was paid $36 million when factoring in bonus-related stock and cash payouts.12 It was a similar story in 2022 and 2021 when he earned a total of $34.5 million.13
Key milestones in career
As Dimon nears the end of his career spanning more than 40 years that were filled with significant events, the following key moments particularly stand out.
- Working for Sandy Weill. After graduating from Harvard, Dimon received job offers from Goldman Sachs, Lehman Brothers and Morgan Stanley. He turned them down to work as an assistant for his father’s boss, Sandy Weill, at American Express. Weill mentored Dimon well and together they helped build what became Citigroup.14
- CEO of Bank One. In 2000, Dimon became CEO of Bank One. Through a mixture of cost-cutting and restructuring, he helped the struggling regional bank become profitable again.15
- Leading JPMorgan Chase. Soon after Bank One was acquired by JPMorgan Chase in 2004, Dimon was appointed the bank’s CEO and chairman. In the years that followed, Dimon cemented his reputation as a shrewd executive: He proved his reputation as an effective emergency response leader during the 2008 financial crisis, building a strong balance sheet, snapping up struggling rivals at reduced cost, and has been growing revenues and profits at the bank since.16
Investment strategies
As company CEO, Dimon has the last say on how the investment bank is run and invests its capital, but he isn’t in charge of managing JPMorgan Chase’s investment portfolios.
One of his obsessions is maintaining a “fortress balance sheet” backed by high levels of liquidity and capital. Dimon was conservative before banks were forced by law to be so, and it was this behavior that helped JPMorgan Chase avoid the worst of the 2008 financial crisis and emerge from it stronger than its peers.17
Dimon is also known for blending traditional banking principles with adaptive innovation such as artificial intelligence, blockchain technologies and cloud infrastructure, acquiring undervalued or strategically valuable businesses, and playing it safe by prioritizing diversification.18 He invests all over the world and in different sectors to ensure JPMorgan Chase can withstand downturns and deliver across different economic cycles.
Dimon is also very much a long-term thinker who focuses on the fundamentals. He dislikes speculative investments capable of suddenly and unexpectedly soaring in value without any logical reason, such as cryptocurrencies and meme stocks.19
About Jamie Dimon: Personal life and history
- Age: 69
- Title: CEO and chairman of JPMorgan Chase
- Income source: Executive compensation, equity in JPMorgan Chase, and real estate holdings
- Location: New York City
Jamie Dimon was born March 13, 1956, the youngest of twin boys, in New York City to Greek parents. His paternal grandfather changed the family name from Papademetriou to Dimon to protect the family from discrimination against Greeks.20
Dimon earned his first degree in economics and psychology at Tufts University, and after two years in management consultancy, went to Harvard Business School. During his study, he met Judith Kent who would become his wife and the mother of his three children. His pursuit of a career in finance came as no surprise as both his father and grandfather worked as stockbrokers.21
While at Tufts, Dimon wrote an essay on the merger of Shearson, the company where his father once worked. It caught the attention of Shearson’s boss, Sandy Weill, leading to Dimon junior being hired for the summer break and beginning the education that helped shape the rest of his career.22
Dimon is widely respected on Wall Street but not always appreciated elsewhere. His outspokenness and high pay have drawn criticism, especially when JP Morgan cut costs, laid off staff or took public bailouts. Dimon has also made the news for his health issues after surviving throat cancer in 2014 and emergency heart surgery in 2020.23
