As of late 2024, Toni Townes-Whitley holds about 24,022 restricted stock units (RSUs) valued at approximately $3.1 million based on the latest stock price.

Over time, her insider trading records show fluctuations in stock sales ranging from around $166,000 to peaks above $800,000, revealing a pattern of strategic selling, especially as stock prices increased and her stake became more liquid.
