What is Shelley Berkley's Net Worth?
Shelley Berkley is an esteemed American politician with a net worth of $8.4 million. Born Rochelle Levine on January 20, 1951, in New York City, she gained prominence for her tenure as the U.S. Representative for Nevada's 1st congressional district from 1999 to 2013. A dedicated member of the Democratic Party, Berkley holds the distinction of being the wealthiest Nevada lawmaker among Democrats and one of the richest members of the House.
The significant portion of her wealth can be attributed to the assets held by her husband, Dr. Larry Lehrner, a respected nephrologist based in Las Vegas. Since their marriage in 1999, Berkley and Lehrner have actively invested in real estate, acquiring properties like two in Pahrump and two townhouses on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C.
Most of the couple's assets are under Lehrner's name, including medical offices and dialysis units in Las Vegas, along with various properties in Southern Nevada and notable stock investments. Although Berkley's bid for the U.S. Senate in 2012 was unsuccessful, her financial disclosures revealed estimated riches of at least $8.4 million, excluding the value of personal homes, automobiles, and her $174,000 congressional salary. Among their investments, their townhouse on Capitol Hill is the most notable, valued at $1.3 million according to online property records.
