Marvin Ellison, chairman, president, and CEO of Lowe’s Companies Inc., saw the market value of his investment in the U.S. home improvement giant soar as a result of the recent surge in Lowe’s share price, increasing his fortune and consolidating his standing as one of America’s top leaders.
Ellison, one of the world’s highest-ranking Black CEOs on the Fortune 500 list, has seen the market value of his Lowe’s Companies Inc. investment rise by $3.35 million in the last 21 days.
