- It added about 0.2% to the shares he holds directly. His Form 4, the report insiders file after most trades, gives no reason and marks no trading plan.

The purchase: Richard Kinder bought 500,000 shares of Kinder Morgan on Nov. 6 at an average $29.99, about $15 million, according to a Form 4 filed with the SEC that evening.Form 4 A Form 4 is the report a company's officers, directors and owners of more than 10% of its stock must file within two business days of most trades. Kinder is all three.Form 4
The man: Kinder was Kinder Morgan's chief executive from 1999 until 2015 and is now its executive chairman. At his request, his pay is a base salary of $1 a year, the company's April proxy statement says. The same proxy puts his stake at 11.6% of the company as of March 16.Proxy
Why it matters: Kinder's purchases come in bursts with long gaps, and each Form 4 records what he paid. His last purchase of common stock at a higher average price was in July 2015, at $34.97. His 50 purchases from November 2015 through 2025 all averaged $26 a share or less.Form 4s At $29.99, this one is higher than all of them, and it is small beside what he already owns.Chart dataForm 4

A fall the whole group shared
Kinder Morgan's five-session fall from Oct. 30 to Nov. 6 was its biggest since April 2025, in KeyVex's price data.Chart data It did not fall alone. Williams fell 13.8% over the same five sessions, ONEOK 12.2% and Targa Resources 16.0%. An S&P 500 fund fell 2.7%.Prices
Part of the first day's drop was the dividend. Buyers from Nov. 2, the ex-dividend and record date, did not get the $0.2975 payment, a little under 1% of the price.Q3 releaseChart data

Also in the filings
Nothing in the filings ties this item to Kinder's purchase. On Nov. 6, Kinder Morgan officer John W. Schlosser filed notice of a planned sale of 18,600 shares, about $562,000, under a trading plan he adopted on July 30. The shares came from a 2025 stock award, his Form 144 shows.Form 144

How we got these numbers
- Prices are end-of-day closes as traded, not adjusted for dividends. Moves are close to close. Kinder Morgan's Nov. 2, 2026 close is the first without its $0.2975 quarterly dividend. Every Kinder Morgan close in the chart's Story range is in its data table. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 lines follow SPY and QQQ, also as traded, rebased to Kinder Morgan's close at the start of the range shown. The Filings switch shows a selection of the filing markers from KeyVex's Kinder Morgan page, not every filing, and not only those tied to this story.
- "Biggest five-session fall since April 2025" compares the Nov. 6 close with the close five sessions earlier, against every such five-session window in KeyVex's 10 years of Kinder Morgan closes (from Nov. 7, 2016). The worst window since then ended April 8, 2025 (down 11.95%); Nov. 6, 2026 was down 11.54%.
- Kinder's purchase history covers every Form 4 he filed for Kinder Morgan common stock from Jan. 1, 2015, through Nov. 6, 2026, read from the filings themselves (open-market purchases, transaction code P). Five purchases in 2015 (March 13 at $39.50, June 5 at $39.99, June 12 at $38.9989, July 24 at $34.9744 and Nov. 11 at $24.69, 100,000 shares each), none in 2016, and 50 from 2017 through Nov. 6, 2026 (12,500,000 shares, about $247.7 million). Prices are each filing's weighted average; within a filing, single fills can be a little higher (the Oct. 27, 2025 purchase ranged from $25.805 to $26.095). Yearly averages are weighted by shares. From 2011 through 2014 he bought at average prices of about $25 to about $36. Separately, on Oct. 27, 2015, a limited partnership he controls bought 408,163 depositary shares of Kinder Morgan's 9.75% Series A mandatory convertible preferred stock at $49 each (Form 4 0001584746-15-000018); each converted into at least 1.544 common shares.
- "Shares he holds directly" is the Form 4's direct holding: 246,712,353 after the purchase, 246,212,353 before it. The Form 4 also reports 61,479 shares held by his spouse and 11,812,747 held by a limited partnership; he disclaims beneficial interest in the spouse's shares and 99% of the partnership's. The 11.6% stake is the proxy's beneficial-ownership figure as of March 16, 2026.
- The dividend figure is KeyVex's math: 246,212,353 shares held directly before the purchase, which the Form 4s show he held on the Nov. 2 record date, times $0.2975, about $73.2 million. The purchase cost $14,994,200 at the Form 4's average price.
