William Stiritz – The Largest Individual Herbalife Shareholder $322 Million

 

William Stiritz is since yesterday the largest individual shareholder in Herbalife. The 77-year-old investor disclosed in a 13G regulatory filing with the SEC today that he personally owns 5,382,362 shares, or a 5.22% stake.

The second biggest individual shareholder is Herbalife's CEO, Michael Johnson. Johnson owns over a million shares.

Stiritz's Herbalife stake is worth about $322 million or so.  That a huge stake for an individual.  

It's unclear what his personal networth is exactly.  We couldn't find any record of Stiritz on any of the billionaire's lists. [hat tip: @TheSkeptic21]

Stiritz is currently the CEO and chairman of food company Post Holdings.  He's also Post's largest individual shareholder with a 1.13% stake.  He owns approximately 369,662 shares, Bloomberg data shows.  That would make his Post stake worth just over $15 million.
