Andrew Keene Net Worth 2026

No reputable publisher has released a net worth estimate for Andrew Keene, and the $16 million figure on older profile sites had no source. Keene is an options trader and trading educator, not a lawyer or prosecutor as the old page claimed. He spent about a decade trading on the floor of the Chicago Board Options Exchange, then in 2011 started the trading education business now called AlphaShark Trading, and he has been a regular options commentator on CNBC's Trading Nation since 2015.

What is Andrew Keene's net worth?

There is no sourced figure. AlphaShark is private and does not publish revenue, and trading profits are not disclosed. A speakers bureau bio calls him a self-made millionaire, which is a promotional claim rather than an independent estimate. The old page's $500,000 yearly income as "an author" had no source and has been removed.

Where the money comes from

Floor trading

After graduating from the University of Illinois, Keene joined Botta Capital's clerk-to-trader program in Chicago on his father's suggestion, he said in a Millionaire Interviews podcast. He later co-founded KATL Group and, according to AlphaShark's biography, became the largest independent on-the-floor trader of Apple options at the CBOE. He traded on the exchange floor for about ten years.

AlphaShark Trading

Keene launched KeeneOnTheMarket.com in 2011 and later rebranded it as AlphaShark. The company sells subscriptions, the largest being a live trading room where members watch him trade during the day, plus educational courses and proprietary chart indicators. In the podcast interview he said the business had about 10 subscription products and 14 courses, and had sold around 10,000 courses over five years. AlphaShark says he has taught more than 50,000 students and trades futures, equity options, currencies and commodities with real money in real accounts. It also runs OptionHacker.com and a Substack newsletter.

Books

Keene wrote Keene on the Market: Trade to Win Using Unusual Options Activity, Volatility, and Earnings, published by Wiley, which the old page garbled as working "as an author at John Wiley and Sons." A hardcover print-on-demand edition lists at $80, per Porchlight Book Company. He has written other trading books as well.

Media and speaking

He appears on Bloomberg TV, CNBC and Fox Business. In a 2016 CNBC Trading Nation segment, for example, he pointed to an institutional buyer of more than 5,000 MGM Resorts call options as a signal, then described buying a June 30/35 call spread for $1.50 a share, or $150 per spread, a trade that needed MGM above $31.50 to profit and could more than triple if the stock reached $35 by expiration. That approach, following large unusual options orders, is the core of what he teaches. In 2018 Bloomberg ran segments on how he was trading the VIX and Citigroup. He is also booked as a paid speaker through speakers bureaus. In recent years his trade ideas have appeared on MarketBeat.

Rental property

In the same podcast, Keene said he had moved into short-term rentals through Airbnb to diversify beyond trading. He did not give figures. Describing his approach to risk, he told the host, "I will literally bet on anything" where he believes he has an edge. He also noted that trading has become far more electronic than in his floor years. AlphaShark adds that his analysis has run on the Nadex and MoneyShow platforms.

Career timeline

Education

Keene is a University of Illinois graduate, as he said in the Millionaire Interviews podcast; the old page placed him at the Gies College of Business there. The old page's claims that he went to law school on a scholarship and worked as a prosecutor were not true to any source we found and have been removed.

Personal life

Keene's own social profiles say he has traveled to 80 countries. The old page's details about a wife named Sarah, church leadership, and his age, height and weight had no source and have been removed.

Net worth compared

Another finance educator on this site is Bola Sokunbi of Clever Girl Finance. Both earn from courses, books and media, and neither has a net worth figure from a reputable publisher.

Why no estimate is given

Keene's wealth depends on AlphaShark's subscription revenue, his personal trading results and any property. None of those is public, and self-described millionaire status is not a verifiable figure. This page will add one if a reputable outlet publishes it.
