Flint and Inkinen have significant outstanding stock and options to buy shares which, if valued at Thursday’s closing price, would be worth $65.03 million and $49.47 million, respectively..
After opening at $22.10, shares in Trulia closed at $24 at the end of their first day of trading on the New York Stock Exchange, up 41 percent from the IPO price of $17.
Other executive officers and directors sold shares, but, like Flint and Inkinen, held on to the majority of their stock and options.

Former Current TV president of new media Paul Levine, Trulia’s chief operating officer, joined Trulia in February 2011 and sold 48,200 of his allotted stock with the IPO worth $819,400. He has outstanding stock or options to buy shares now worth $4.2 million.
Trulia chief financial officer Sean Aggarwal, who held on to all of his stock through the IPO, joined the company with Trulia general counsel Scott Darling late last year.
Aggarwal owns or has an option to purchase 241,772 shares worth $5.8 million at today’s closing share price. Darling sold 8,700 shares in the IPO for $147,000 and owns or has options to purchase 13,462 more worth $323,088 at the current share price.
Existing shareholders selling stock today would have netted less than the full proceeds after expenses, including the cost of exercising options.
Trulia’s management team now owns 38.9 percent of Trulia’s stock, down from 50 percent before the IPO.
