Noncontrolling Interest [Abstract]  
Noncontrolling Interests Noncontrolling Interests
Noncontrolling interests consist of the ownership interests of noncontrolling shareholders in consolidated entities. White Mountains has both redeemable and nonredeemable noncontrolling interests. Noncontrolling interests with optional redemption features that are not within White Mountains’s control are classified as redeemable noncontrolling interests, which are considered temporary equity and presented as mezzanine equity on the balance sheet. Noncontrolling interests that do not have any redemption features are classified as nonredeemable noncontrolling interests, which are considered permanent equity and included in White Mountains’s total equity on the balance sheet. Nonredeemable noncontrolling interests are presented separately from White Mountains’s common shareholders’ equity.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

As of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the carrying value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests was $131.5 million, and the redemption value would have been $131.5 million if exercised in full.
