Vlad Tenev is CEO of no-fee stock trading app Robinhood, which he founded in 2013 with his friend Baiju Bhatt. Since its launch, Robinhood's no-commission trading model has revolutionized the brokerage industry.
In August 2020, private investors valued Robinhood at $11.2 billion in a fundraising round.

Tenev owns an estimated 10.5% stake in Robinhood; Forbes applies a private company discount to the company's valuation. The son of two World Bank staffers, Tenev was born in Bulgaria and grew up in Washington, D.C.
