Anthony Scaramucci Net Worth

What is Anthony Scaramucci's net worth?

Anthony Scaramucci is an American financier, author, and entrepreneur who has a net worth of $150 million. Also known as "The Mooch", Anthony Scaramucci is probably best known for serving as Donald Trump's White House Director of Communications for a grand total of 11 days in July 2020. His exact term lasted from July 21 to July 31, 2017. In the wake of his comically short stint, the term "Scaramucci" has entered the lexicon as a way to describe a period of 11 days. For example:

"Only one Scaramucci til I'm on vacation!"

A longtime Wall Street figure, Scaramucci built his fortune as the founder of SkyBridge Capital, a global investment firm and hedge fund platform. Though respected in financial circles for years, he entered mainstream public consciousness in 2017 during an 11-day stint as White House Communications Director, a period marked by internal conflict and a headline-making interview that led to his dismissal.

Before and after his time in government, Scaramucci cultivated a reputation as a high-energy dealmaker and outspoken commentator. He has been a frequent presence on cable news, a conference host, podcast guest, and author. His career reflects a blend of finance, politics, and media savvy, making him one of the more unconventional figures to cross between Wall Street and Washington in the modern era.

Anthony Scaramucci Net Worth History

In 2010, Celebrity Net Worth estimated The Mooch's net worth to be $40 million. In October of that year, we received a cease and desist from a law firm representing Scaramucci. The legal threat claimed our $40 million estimate was "materially false". They implied that he was worth far LESS than $40 million. We followed up to see if they could provide more information that could illustrate their point of view. We did not receive a reply. Around the same time, we found a CNBC interview from 2008 where Scaramucci himself claimed his net worth was $80 million. So, erring on the side of caution, we updated his net worth to be $80 million. In August 2017, Scaramucci's financial disclosure was leaked to the press. In the disclosure listed his liquid assets as being worth $85 million. He also reportedly had various illiquid assets, including several real estate investments and a minority stake in the New York Mets. He listed three mortgages, with total liability in the range of $2.5 – $7 million.

NY Mets Investment

In 2012, Anthony and a group of investors (including comedian Bill Maher) were offered the opportunity to purchase 4% stakes in the NY Mets for $20 million apiece. In 2020, billionaire hedge fund manager Steve Cohen purchased the Mets for $2.4 billion. After the debt was removed, the equity investor portion of the sale was roughly $2 billion. That means Anthony's 4% stake became worth roughly $80 million.

Real Estate

In 2018, Anthony paid $7.49 million for a house in the Hamptons. Around the time of this purchase, he listed a different Hamptons home for sale for $3.99 million. He ultimately did not sell this house. In 2019, he listed the larger Hamptons home for $9.75 million. He accepted $7.5 million in May 2020. In May 2019, Anthony paid $3 million for a home in Manhasset, New York.

Early Life

Anthony Scaramucci was born in Long Island, New York, on January 6, 1964. He was raised in a middle-class family in the town of Port Washington. His father was a construction worker.

After graduating from Paul D. Schreiber High School, he enrolled at Tufts University, where he earned a B.A. in economics. After Tufts, he earned a J.D. from Harvard Law School. While at Harvard Law, his fellow student was future President Barack Obama.

Goldman Sachs

After earning his law degree, Scaramucci never practiced law. Instead, he moved back to New York City, where he took a job at Goldman Sachs in 1989. Anthony worked at Goldman, within the Investment Banking division, for a year before getting fired. He was re-hired just two months later by Goldman's Equities division.

In 1993, he was named a Vice President in Goldman's Private Wealth Management division. He remained at Goldman through 1996.

In 1996, he left to launch Oscar Capital Management with a colleague from Goldman.

In 2001, the Oscar partners decided to sell their company to Neuberger Berman. Two years later, Neuberger was acquired by Lehman Brothers. With this sale, Anthony became a managing director in Lehman's Investment Management division.

SkyBridge Capital

In 1995, Anthony Scaramucci founded SkyBridge Capital. At its peak, the firm had over $7 billion in assets under management. By the end of 2022, after a series of bad bets on cryptocurrency and the crypto exchange FTX, SkyBridge's largest fund reportedly had just $1.3 billion in assets under management. Furthermore, 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, he launched the SkyBridge Alternatives Conference, which became known as the "SALT" Conference. The SALT hosted events around the world, with a marquee event every year in Las Vegas.

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.

Trump White House

Anthony Scaramucci's national political profile rose sharply in July 2017 when he was appointed White House Communications Director under President Donald Trump. Though he had supported Trump during the 2016 campaign after initially backing other Republican candidates, his appointment surprised many observers.

His tenure lasted just 11 days, making it one of the shortest in modern White House history. During that brief period, he gave a now-infamous interview to The New Yorker in which he used blunt and profane language to criticize other administration officials. The fallout from that interview contributed to his removal from the role shortly after John Kelly was appointed White House Chief of Staff.

Despite the brevity of his time in government, the episode made Scaramucci a household name. The term "Scaramucci" even entered pop culture shorthand as a unit of time equal to 11 days.

SkyBridge Sale

On January 14, 2017, it was announced that Anthony Scaramucci had reached an agreement to sell SkyBridge to a Chinese bank. This sale was soon mired in regulatory holdups and eventually fell apart.

Had the sale gone through, by our estimate, Anthony stood to gain anywhere from $100 million on the low end to $750 million on the high end, depending on the final deal price and his personal equity in SkyBridge.

There was another interesting factor at play with the potential sale of SkyBridge and Anthony's job within the Trump White House. The timing of his sale happened to coincide with his entry into the Trump White House. When he left the White House after just 11 days, Anthony lost a major tax benefit called a "certificate of divestiture."

This certificate allows people who sell assets before taking a government job (in order to avoid conflicts of interest) to sell those assets at a favorable tax rate. Someone using this allowance would take the proceeds of a sale and invest them in US Treasuries without paying any taxes in the short term. When those treasuries are eventually sold, the proceeds would be taxed at the long-term capital gains rate of 15% instead of 39%.

If Anthony's proceeds from the SkyBridge sale are $100 million (the lowest estimate we've heard), then this rule would have allowed him to pay $15 million in taxes instead of $39 million. In other words, using the low-end estimate, leaving his White House job could have cost the Mooch $24 million had his sale actually gone through.

Political Evolution and Media Presence

Following his departure from the White House, Scaramucci gradually distanced himself from Trump and became an outspoken critic of the former president. He positioned himself as a more centrist or pragmatic Republican voice and became a frequent guest on television news programs.

Scaramucci has also embraced the media landscape more broadly. He has appeared on reality television, including "Celebrity Big Brother," and has hosted podcasts and business panels. His public persona blends self-deprecating humor with aggressive self-promotion, and he has often leaned into the notoriety of his White House tenure.

He is the author of books on business and personal branding, including "Hopping Over the Rabbit Hole," which draws lessons from his Wall Street experience.

Business Ventures and Investments

Beyond politics and television, Scaramucci has continued to focus on investment management through SkyBridge Capital. The firm has navigated shifts in the hedge fund industry, regulatory changes, and market volatility.

In recent years, Scaramucci has also been an advocate for digital assets and cryptocurrency investing, positioning SkyBridge as a participant in emerging financial technologies. His willingness to pivot into new sectors reflects his broader entrepreneurial approach.

Personal Life

Anthony Scaramucci's first marriage, to Lisa Miranda, lasted 23 years before they separated in 2011 and divorced in 2014. That same year, he married Deidra Hall, who was working in investor relations at his company, SkyBridge Capital. They have two children. Deidra actually filed for divorce around the time of his White House appointment. This was especially notable because she was roughly 9 months pregnant at the time with their second child. They ultimately reconciled.

In February 2026, Anthony and Deidra's son, AJ, paid $16.5 million for a Pokémon card that was being auctioned by Logan Paul.
