During his time at Schlumberger, Andrew Gould built significant holdings in the company, mainly through stock options. In 2009, he exercised options worth around $45 million, showing a high point in his wealth tied to his executive role. By 2011, his stock options included a grant of 400,000 shares valued at $12.3 million, which became crucial as he transitioned out of the CEO role. However, his total holdings have fluctuated over time, with significant exercise levels around 1.2 million shares in 2009, showcasing the peaks of his financial ties to Schlumberger's performance. Post-retirement, the accelerated vesting of some of his options reflected the years he dedicated to the company, allowing him to capitalize on his long-term engagement and the firm’s growth.
