Blackstone’s Schwarzman Took Home $1.2 Billion Last Year
Blackstone CEO Steve Schwarzman collected more than $1.2 billion in dividends and compensation in 2025, according to the firm’s annual filing.
The haul, which was in line with Schwarzman’s previous record in 2022, came despite lackluster performance for the firm’s shares. Including dividends, those lost 7.9%, compared with a 17.9% total return for the S&P 500.
As in previous years, the vast majority of Schwarzman’s take, around $1.1 billion, came from dividends on his roughly 20% stake in Blackstone.
