Lutnick’s Wealth Wind-Down Revealed | US News

from US News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s 2025 financial disclosures reveal a massive wind-down of his business empire, with over $250 million in income largely tied to his exit from Cantor Fitzgerald — where he received at least $190 million before fully divesting. As he stepped down from leadership roles across hundreds of companies around the time he joined the cabinet in February 2025, Lutnick’s reported assets dropped from $805 million to $237 million, though actual net worth may be higher due to broad reporting ranges. Between May and October 2025, he sold $259 million in assets while investing $166 million into low-conflict funds, all in compliance with his ethics agreement that required him to avoid conflicts and reinvest proceeds responsibly. His two sons now lead Cantor Fitzgerald. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
