Carl Dvorak Net Worth 2026: Former Epic Systems President

No reputable outlet has published an estimate of Carl Dvorak's net worth. Earlier versions of this page gave a figure of $24 million and a salary of $1 million a year, but we could not find any source for either number, so we have removed them. What is documented is his career: Dvorak joined Epic Systems, the private electronic health record company based in Verona, Wisconsin, in 1987, rose to executive vice president, and held the title of president from 2013 until a leadership change around 2024.

What is Carl Dvorak's net worth?

There is no published figure from Forbes, Bloomberg, Celebrity Net Worth or any business publication for Dvorak. That is not unusual. Epic is privately held and does not file public reports, so the pay and any equity or profit-sharing of its executives are not disclosed the way they would be at a listed company.

What can be said is where his wealth would come from: nearly four decades of senior employment at one of the largest health software vendors in the United States. Epic founder Judy Faulkner holds all of the company's voting shares, according to a July 2026 analysis by health IT writer Brendan Keeler, so there is no public record of Dvorak holding a stake that could be valued. Any number you see quoted without a named source should be treated as a guess.

Carl Dvorak's salary and yearly income

Epic does not publish executive compensation, and we found no filing, court record or news report that states what Dvorak earned. The yearly, monthly and daily income figures that appeared on this page before ($1 million a year, $83,000 a month, $2,800 a day) had no source and have been taken out. Readers looking for a number should know that none exists in the public record.

Career at Epic Systems

Dvorak's whole documented career has been at Epic. He started there in 1987, when it was still a small Madison software firm, and worked as a developer. HIT Consultant later described him as the original developer of several Epic applications.

Before 2013 he had spent several years as executive vice president, effectively the number-two executive under Faulkner. When Healthcare Informatics interviewed him in March 2013, just after the new title was announced, he described the promotion as a natural step rather than a change in direction. In that interview he talked mostly about federal health policy: the ICD-10 coding deadline, Stage 3 of the meaningful-use program, and interoperability groups such as CommonWell.

What he was responsible for

As president he oversaw Epic's technical and service areas, according to HIT Consultant's report on his 2016 HITRUST appointment. HITRUST, the Health Information Trust Alliance, sets security and privacy frameworks for healthcare data, and its board is made up mostly of security and privacy chiefs from large insurers and hospital systems. Dvorak's seat gave the organization a direct line to the largest electronic health record vendor.

How big is Epic?

The size of Epic explains why Dvorak's role mattered. WMTV reported in November 2024 that, according to the company's own website, more than 325 million patients had a current electronic record in Epic and the company employed about 10,000 people. Keeler's July 2026 piece put the headcount at roughly 14,000. HIT Consultant said in 2016 that 55 percent of U.S. patient records were then held on Epic's system. Epic makes MyChart, the patient portal many Americans use to see test results and message their doctors.

Faulkner has said Epic will stay private, and her estate plan bars any future vote to take the company public or sell it. That structure means senior staff like Dvorak are paid by a private firm with no public share price, one more reason there is no reliable way to value his wealth from the outside.

Controversies and recent news

2021 leaked recording

In October 2021 an audio clip posted anonymously on Reddit captured a voice identified as Dvorak telling Epic's diversity, equity and inclusion council that the workplace was not the place to campaign for social causes. Healthcare IT News and The Cap Times reported on it. An Epic spokesperson said the meeting had taken place in summer 2020, that the clip was a small part of a longer conversation about preventing bullying, and that it did not reflect the full discussion.

2024 arrest on a Delta flight

On November 6, 2024, Dvorak was removed from Delta Flight 3166 in Detroit, which was bound for Madison, after crew members said he appeared intoxicated and would not leave the plane. WMTV 15 News obtained the Wayne County Airport Authority police report, which says he was handcuffed, taken off the aircraft and given a misdemeanor citation for disorderly conduct. The flight left about an hour late. Dvorak told the station his behavior was inappropriate and that he had apologized to the airline, its staff and the other passengers. Epic said he was not traveling on company business.

Does Carl Dvorak still work for Epic?

In the same November 2024 reporting, Dvorak told WMTV he was no longer Epic's president, that the leadership change had happened roughly six months earlier, and that he was working in the company's international business. We found no later report of him leaving Epic. Keeler's 2026 analysis of Epic's succession described Dvorak as a long-time number two who was generally expected to retire before Faulkner rather than succeed her; Sumit Rana, who had been seen as her likely successor, announced in July 2026 that he was leaving.

Personal details: age, height, education and family

Earlier versions of this page listed Dvorak's age as 61, his height as 6 feet, his weight as 70 kg, a computer science degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and a description of his wife. We could not confirm any of these in a reliable source, so they have been removed. Dvorak keeps his private life out of the press, and we do not publish personal details that have not been reported by a reputable outlet. His start date of 1987 suggests he has been working for close to four decades, but his exact birth date is not public.

How he compares with other executives

Unlike founders who own their companies, Dvorak's wealth comes from a salaried career, which makes him closer to hired executives such as Carl Armato than to investors like Carl Eschenbach, whose fortune rests on equity. For both, the public record says far more about their roles than about their bank balances.

Why there is no reliable estimate

Net worth figures for private-company executives are usually built from public filings: proxy statements, stock sales, property records. None of those exist for Epic. The $24 million number that circulated on low-quality sites carried no method and no source. Until a reputable publication reports on Dvorak's pay or holdings, the honest answer is that his net worth is unknown, though decades as a top executive at a company of Epic's size point to substantial personal wealth.
