Steven J. Kean has had significant weights in Kinder Morgan stock throughout his career. By 2023, his vested stock alone was valued at approximately $18 million, made possible through a performance-based Restricted Stock Unit (RSU) plan that rewards executives for achieving specific financial targets. This approach transitioned Kean from a multi-million dollar total compensation and vesting structure seen back in 2021, where he had a total remuneration of over $18 million. In terms of ownership, during his tenure, Kean's stock fluctuations indicated savvy management aimed at aligning his wealth closely with Kinder Morgan's market performance—all while opting out of cash bonuses. His strategic moves to maintain substantial holdings in the company suggest a focused commitment to both personal and corporate growth.
