Anthony Scaramucci’s Net Worth 2017: $1.5 Billion
The Long Island native’s net worth is a whopping $1.5 billion. Who wouldn’t want that much money? In fact, he became this rich and powerful because of the risk as well as the hard work he put in throughout his finance-related career.
Let’s check out how this investment banker, an alumnus of Tufts University and Harvard Law School, and current politician became such a huge figure in terms of the amount of wealth he has starting from the beginning of his career to now.
1989-2003
Scaramucci, after graduating with a JD from Harvard Law School, began his banking career at Goldman Sachs. After being hired, fired, and rehired in a single year, Scaramucci left Goldman in 1996 to launch Oscar Capital Management with his colleague Andrew Boszhardt. In 2001, Oscar Capital was sold to Neuberger Berman and, upon Neuberger Berman’s sale to Lehman Brothers in 2003, Scaramucci served as a managing director in the firm’s Investment Management division.
2004-2015
If you think he’s successful enough with all these endeavors, he decided to continue his path to success by founding SkyBridge Capital, a global alternative investment firm. In May 2014, SkyBridge licensed the rights to Wall Street Week, a financial television news program formerly hosted by Louis Rukeyser on PBS, installing Scaramucci as host. Throughout this period in his vocation, he earned the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award (NY) in the financial services category.
2016-Present
During this area in time, Scaramucci transitioned from the financial world to the political stage. In 2016, he was ranked #85 in Worth magazine’s “Power 100: The 100 Most Powerful People in Global Finance.” During the 2016 presidential election, Scaramucci first endorsed Scott Walker, then Jeb Bush. However, both candidates withdrew from the presidential race. This led to his changed allegiance to Donald Trump’s campaign; he joined Trump’s Finance Committee. Later on July 21, 2017, the Trump Administration named him as White House Director of Communications.
