Hoffman owns a total of 19,066,032 shares in the company. With the share price estimated to be as high as $45, he will easily net more than half a billion dollars. Weiner, a former Yahoo executive who joined LinkedIn in 2009, holds 2,322,726 shares, or 2.5% of the shares, compared to Hoffman’s 21.2%.

Others benefiting the most from tomorrow's IPO include “entities affiliated with Sequoia Capital," who will net $588 million at a $35 share price and their counterparts at Greylock Partners and Bessemer Venture Partners, who will get about $490 million and $158 million, respectively.

The documents also show that Weiner was paid $541,436 in salary and bonuses in 2010. That figure, which includes a $290,194 bonus, will likely increase in 2011; his base salary is already set to jump to $450,000.
