We present constraints on the evolution of the virial to stellar mass ratio of galaxies with high stellar masses in the redshift range 0.2 < z < 0.8, by comparing weak lensing measurements of virial mass Mvir with estimates of stellar mass Mstar. For a complete sample of galaxies with log (Mstar/M⊙) > 10.5, where the majority show an early-type morphology, we find that the virial mass to stellar mass ratio is given by Mvir/Mstar= 53+13−16. Assuming a baryon fraction from the concordance cosmology, this corresponds to a stellar fraction of baryons in massive galaxies of Ω*b/Ωb= 0.10 ± 0.03. Analysing the galaxy sample in different redshift slices, we find little or no evolution in the virial to stellar mass ratio, and place an upper limit of ∼2.5 on the growth of massive galaxies through the conversion of gas into stars from z= 0.8 to the present day.
