Ramon Laguarta is Chairman & CEO of PepsiCo (PEP). Most of a public-company CEO’s on-paper wealth is their stake in that company — anchored here on the number you can verify.
Past cash compensation, sold shares, real estate, and other public holdings — estimable from records, but not exact.
Private company stakes, trusts, cash, debts, and undisclosed assets. Anyone publishing these as a single number is guessing.

We take the shares Ramon Laguarta reports owning in their most recent SEC Form 4 and multiply by the latest share price. That gives a stake value you can check against the filing itself. Everything beyond that stake — real estate, private holdings, cash, past compensation — is estimated or simply not public, and we say so rather than roll it into one number.
Ramon Laguarta was born in Barcelona in 1963 and built an international career in consumer goods. He earned an MBA from ESADE in his home city and a master’s in international management in Arizona, and got his start at the Spanish confectionery maker Chupa Chups.
He joined PepsiCo in 1996 and spent more than two decades running its businesses abroad, rising to lead Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa before becoming president and then, in 2018, chief executive, the first Spanish-born leader of the company. He has pushed a strategy built on organic growth and packaging sustainability.
Laguarta is a hired executive. His PepsiCo stake came from years of compensation, which is what this page measures.

Share counts are the latest reported on SEC filings and change as the executive trades; the price is the last close, so the stake value moves with the market.
