    The shares are on the record (Schedule 13D); the dollar figure is Bloomberg's paper value at the debut price and has moved since. Only Bloomberg values his individual stake at this figure. Reuters valued the two brothers' combined roughly 20% at about $1.5 billion at the close, and Forbes used a different method to reach $3.2 billion.
