David Gebbia Net Worth

What is David Gebbia's net worth?

David Gebbia is an American business executive who has a net worth of $150 million.

David Gebbia is best known for his leadership roles in the financial services industry and for his high-profile marriage to former "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" cast member Carlton Gebbia.

A longtime executive within his family's brokerage empire, David built his wealth through StockCross Financial Services and Siebert Financial Corp, expanding into sports management and luxury real estate development along the way. While he largely maintained a private, business-focused public image, he became more widely known after his family's custom-built Beverly Hills estate was featured on reality television. Following his 2018 divorce, David shifted his personal and business base to Florida, continuing his work in finance and development. Over the years, his career has reflected a combination of Wall Street discipline, entrepreneurial diversification, and a willingness to invest heavily in large-scale real estate projects.

Early Life and Education

David Gebbia was born into a business-oriented family and raised in Medford, New York, alongside his twin brother, Richard. As a teenager, he was a standout football player at Patchogue-Medford High School, playing both offensive tackle and defensive end. His athletic performance earned him a scholarship to play college football at the University of Mississippi, commonly known as Ole Miss.

While athletics defined his early years, his professional path ultimately followed the financial foundation established by his father, John Gebbia.

Family Business and Financial Career

David's father acquired a New York City brokerage firm and later relocated both the family and the business to Southern California. That company eventually became StockCross Financial Services, a brokerage firm that developed a reputation as a significant player in retail and institutional trading.

David served as a principal and owner within StockCross, taking on leadership responsibilities as the firm expanded. The company has been headquartered in Beverly Hills for more than three decades.

He also held executive positions at Siebert Financial Corp, a publicly traded holding company connected to the family's financial operations. In roles such as Executive Vice President, he was involved in strategic planning and oversight across multiple financial subsidiaries.

Beyond traditional brokerage services, David diversified his interests. He managed Rival Sports Group, a sports management firm representing NBA and NFL athletes, blending his athletic background with business expertise.

Real Estate Development

In addition to finance, David launched Gebbia Custom Estates, a luxury residential development company focused on high-end properties in Southern California. His most notable project was the construction of a 15,200-square-foot custom mansion in the gated Beverly Ridge Estates community of Beverly Hills in 2009.

The estate, designed in collaboration with his then-wife Carlton, featured elaborate architectural details, cathedral-style elements, and specialty rooms including a "burlesque" room and a confessional-inspired space. The property became widely known after appearing on reality television.

In April 2018, following his divorce, the mansion was initially listed for $22 million. It sold in December 2019 $13.7 million. It actually sold again in 2023 for $17 million.

David subsequently relocated to Miami Beach, paying $5.58 million for a mansion on Palm Island, signaling a shift of both lifestyle and business interests toward Florida.

Marriage and Family Life

David met Carlton Elizabeth in Los Angeles in the mid-1990s. The couple married on September 19, 1997, and built a life centered around family and shared business ventures. They have three children: daughters Destiny and Mysteri, and son Cross. Carlton was born in South Africa but was mostly raised in London, England, and moved to Los Angeles when she was 18 to pursue an acting career. Carlton landed some small roles in low-budget films before giving up acting to serve as the in-house interior design expert at Gebbia Estates.

After nearly two decades of marriage, David filed for divorce in November 2017, citing irreconcilable differences. The couple had separated the previous year but continued co-parenting under the same roof for a period. The divorce was finalized in 2018.
