Occupation: Software Engineer

Net Worth: ~$4.9 million (~$75,000 in savings, ~$400,000 set aside for taxes(?!?!?), $900,000 in investments (mutual funds + ETFs), $110,000 in 401(k)s, $1.9 million in vested company stock, $1.6 million in unvested company stock (most will vest in the next year). I started working at a startup four years ago and we went public this year which is where this net worth is coming from. Prior to the IPO, I had ~$450,000 in net worth between savings and stocks. I was able to sell some of my stock right after the IPO (hence the tax savings, I don’t know exactly how much I’ll owe) and will be able to sell the vested stock (if I want to) in the next few months. No car/house/debt.)
