Gamestop Roaring Kitty Net Worth in 2026

Roaring Kitty, whose real name is Keith Gill, is still one of the most closely watched names in meme-stock trading. The cleanest way to estimate his 2026 net worth is not as a celebrity-style guess, but as a mark-to-market calculation based on the last public snapshot of his GameStop position and the latest available GameStop share price.

What Is Verified About Roaring Kitty’s Net Worth

The strongest public anchor is still Keith Gill’s June 13, 2024 Reddit update. Reuters reported that Gill showed a clean position of 9 million GameStop shares and no longer held the 120,000 June 21 $20 call options that had appeared in his earlier update. Reuters valued that GameStop position at about $262.1 million on that date.

A lot of roundups also mention roughly $6.3 million in cash from that same June 2024 screenshot. That is useful context for what the portfolio looked like then, but it should not be treated as a live 2026 cash balance unless Gill publicly updates it again.

Why Chewy should not be counted now

Chewy is the biggest place where older net worth articles go wrong. Gill’s July 2024 filing revealed a 6.6% stake in Chewy, but his amended Schedule 13G/A later showed 0 shares, 0 sole voting power, 0 sole dispositive power, and 0.0% beneficial ownership. Reuters also reported in October 2024 that he had dissolved the entire Chewy stake.

That means the clean 2026 approach is straightforward: keep GameStop as the last verified core holding, treat the old cash line as dated context only, and exclude Chewy from any current total unless a new filing appears.

Roaring Kitty Net Worth Estimate in 2026

Using the latest available GameStop close of $26.53 on Friday, May 1, 2026, a 9,000,000-share position would be worth about $238.77 million. That is the most defensible 2026 estimate of Gill’s visible GameStop stake.

It is an estimate of market value, not a verified personal balance sheet with taxes, liabilities, private investments, or later trades included.

A clearer way to present the estimate

Component	What we know publicly	Include in core estimate?	2026 treatment
GameStop shares	Last public anchor is 9,000,000 shares	Yes	$238.77 million at $26.53
June 2024 cash line	Dated screenshot context only	No	Mention only as historical context
Chewy stake	Later filing shows 0 shares / 0.0%	No	Exclude
Potential GameStop warrants	Possible only if Gill still held GME through the Oct. 3, 2025 record date	Separate scenario	Do not merge into base estimate

The GameStop row comes from Reuters’ June 13, 2024 report of a 9 million-share position and the latest available GME close. The Chewy row is excluded because Gill’s amended SEC filing shows 0 shares. 

The warrant row stays separate because GameStop’s warrant distribution depended on ownership as of October 3, 2025, and there has been no later public confirmation of Gill’s GameStop share count.

The warrant angle matters, but it is still conditional

GameStop announced in 2025 that each shareholder of record on October 3, 2025 received one warrant for every ten shares, with each warrant carrying a $32.00 exercise price and expiring on October 30, 2026. 

If Gill still held all 9 million GameStop shares through that record date, that would imply roughly 900,000 warrants. But because that continued ownership is not publicly confirmed, the warrants are better treated as an optional upside scenario rather than part of the verified base estimate.

Why there may not be a newer public filing

GameStop’s 2026 annual report says it had 448,375,157 shares outstanding as of March 18, 2026. On that base, a 9 million-share stake would equal about 2.0% of the company. Since Schedules 13D and 13G generally apply when an investor owns more than 5% of a covered class, a position around 2% would sit below the usual public beneficial-ownership filing threshold.

Recent Updates That Could Affect Keith Gill’s Paper Wealth

The May 2026 eBay bid is the biggest fresh catalyst

The most important new development is GameStop’s May 3, 2026 proposal to buy eBay for $125 per share in a 50% cash / 50% stock deal. GameStop said it had already built a 5% economic stake in eBay, while Reuters reported that the earlier May 1 Wall Street Journal leak pushed GameStop up 4% and eBay up about 14% after hours. Because Gill’s visible wealth is heavily tied to GME, moves like that matter immediately for his paper net worth.

At the May 1 close of $26.53, a 4% move in GameStop is worth roughly $9.6 million on a 9 million-share position. That is why a single corporate headline can move Gill’s paper wealth by eight figures in a matter of hours.

GameStop’s bitcoin strategy also changed the story

GameStop’s board approved adding bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset in March 2025. The company later announced that it had purchased 4,710 Bitcoin, and by its March 24, 2026 full-year results it reported $9.0 billion in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities, plus $368.4 million in bitcoin and related receivables. 

Reuters also reported that the stock jumped 11.6% after the bitcoin reserve decision and rose 4.4% in premarket trading after the bitcoin purchase announcement.

That matters for a Keith Gill article because GameStop is no longer trading purely as a struggling physical game retailer. In 2025 and 2026 it also became a balance-sheet story, a bitcoin story, and now a takeover story, which makes the stock and Gill’s implied wealth even more headline-sensitive. 

This is partly an inference from those developments, but it is well supported by the way Reuters and GameStop’s own disclosures describe the company’s recent strategy shift.

The operating backdrop is still mixed

The bullish side of the story is clear: GameStop reported $418.4 million in fiscal 2025 net income and ended the year with a much larger cash position. 

The cautionary side is clear too: Reuters reported that GameStop’s fourth-quarter revenue still fell 14%, underscoring that the core retail business remains under pressure from digital downloads and changing shopping habits.

For net worth coverage, that means the stock can keep reacting sharply to both optimism and doubt. A stronger balance sheet can lift the shares, but disappointing operating trends can pressure them just as quickly, and both outcomes flow almost directly into any estimate of Gill’s paper wealth.

Where Keith Gill’s Net Worth Would Rank

Ultra-high-net-worth, but not billionaire territory

At roughly $238.77 million based on the latest available GameStop close, Gill would comfortably fall into the ultra-high-net-worth bracket under the common $30 million+ definition. But he would still be nowhere near the Forbes 400 threshold, which rose to $3.8 billion for the 2025 list.

So the clean ranking language for a 2026 article is this: Keith Gill appears wealthy enough to qualify as ultra-high-net-worth, but not close to billionaire rankings or the Forbes 400. That framing is much safer than assigning him a precise public “rich list” rank that the available data does not support.

Why there is no exact live public rank

There is still no authoritative live public ranking for Gill because the key public anchor is a June 2024 portfolio snapshot, not a continuously disclosed balance sheet. And because a 9 million-share GameStop position would now be only about 2.0% of the company, there may be no later ownership filing unless his stake rose above the reporting threshold again. That means any exact rank would be more fiction than fact.

Conclusion

The cleanest 2026 estimate of Roaring Kitty’s net worth is still a conservative GameStop-based mark-to-market calculation. Using Keith Gill’s last publicly shown 9 million-share GameStop position and the latest available GME close of $26.53 on May 1, 2026, that stake is worth about $238.77 million.
