What Is Anthony Scaramucci Net Worth’ Net Worth
Anthony Scaramucci, often called “The Mooch,” boasts a net worth of $90 million as of 2025. This valuation reflects his multifaceted career as a financier, author, and entrepreneur. While his brief stint as White House Communications Director under President Donald Trump brought him widespread recognition, Scaramucci’s wealth primarily stems from his ventures in the financial sector, particularly his role as the founder of SkyBridge Capital. While detailed breakdowns of his assets aren’t publicly available, financial disclosures and reports offer insights into the key components of his wealth.
Financial Career and SkyBridge Capital
Scaramucci’s career trajectory began with a stint at Goldman Sachs in 1989, following his graduation from Harvard Law School. Although initially fired after a year, he was rehired within two months, eventually rising to Vice President in the Private Wealth Management division by 1993. He left Goldman in 1996 to co-found Oscar Capital Management, which was later sold to Neuberger Berman in 2001. Subsequently, Neuberger was acquired by Lehman Brothers, where Scaramucci became a managing director in the Investment Management division. His time at Lehman Brothers ended around 2005, before the 2008 financial crisis that led to Lehman’s collapse.
In 2005, Scaramucci founded SkyBridge Capital. SkyBridge Capital’s assets under management (AUM) peaked at over $7 billion. However, by the end of 2022, after what were described as bad bets on cryptocurrency and the crypto exchange FTX, SkyBridge’s largest fund reportedly had just $1.3 billion in assets under management. The company had reportedly experienced a 40% negative return in the previous 12 months, which reportedly led to clients requesting to return 60% of the fund’s capital. By April 2023, AUM had reportedly risen back up to $2 billion.
In 2009, Scaramucci launched the SkyBridge Alternatives Conference, known as the “SALT” Conference. In 2011 he received the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year Award. His company SkyBridge acquired the rights to the TV show Wall Street Week in 2014. Details of the transaction were not publicly disclosed.
Brief White House Tenure and Potential Financial Implications
Anthony Scaramucci’s brief tenure as White House Communications Director lasted just 10 days in July 2017. Prior to this role, a deal was struck to sell SkyBridge to a Chinese bank. This deal eventually fell apart due to regulatory hurdles. Had the sale been finalized, it was estimated that Scaramucci could have gained between $100 million and $750 million, contingent on the final deal price and his equity stake in SkyBridge.
The timing of the SkyBridge sale coincided with his entry into the Trump White House. His brief departure from the White House meant he forfeited a “certificate of divestiture,” a tax benefit that allows individuals selling assets before taking a government job to avoid conflicts of interest to sell those assets at a lower tax rate. Had the sale gone through, Scaramucci could have potentially saved millions in taxes. For example, on proceeds of $100 million, he could have paid $15 million in taxes versus $39 million.
Other Assets and Investments
In 2012, Scaramucci, along with a group of investors including Bill Maher, was offered the opportunity to purchase a 4% stake in the New York Mets for $20 million. In 2020, Steve Cohen purchased the Mets for $2.4 billion. Removing the debt, the equity investor portion of the sale was about $2 billion. This made Scaramucci’s 4% stake worth approximately $80 million. Scaramucci’s financial disclosure in August 2017 listed liquid assets worth $85 million. He also reported various illiquid assets, including real estate investments and his stake in the New York Mets. His liabilities included three mortgages, totaling between $2.5 million and $7 million.
He speaks at the annual meetings for the World Economic Forum in Switzerland and is often featured on CNBC. Scaramucci also serves on the boards of Warrior Gateway and The Brain Tumor Foundation and on the Board of Advisors for the School of Arts & Sciences at Tufts University and the Harvard Law School Leadership Counsel. It is difficult to ascertain the exact compensation that Scaramucci receives for his board positions, commentary, or speaking engagements. The compensation structures vary widely, from nominal stipends to significant fees.
