New York gubernatorial candidate and Nassau County executive Bruce Blakeman keeps a relatively low public profile when it comes to his family.
Blakeman married Segal Magori Blakeman in 2015. He was previously married to Nancy Shevell, who later married Paul McCartney of the Beatles. He has one son, Arlen, and is also the stepfather of Magori’s two children, Ariel and Avi. A lifelong member of the Jewish community, Blakeman is Nassau County’s first Jewish executive and is affiliated with the Atlantic Beach Jewish Center, a Modern Orthodox synagogue.
In addition to his family life, Blakeman has built a remarkable career in business and politics. As he campaigns for the state’s highest office, questions about his personal wealth and earnings have taken center stage, with reports revealing his county executive salary and estimates of his overall net worth.
While some online sources estimate Blakeman’s net worth to be around $4 million, there is no reliable or officially confirmed figure available. Blakeman is known to have previously earned substantial income and received a substantial commission from a major land deal in 2007, adding to his personal wealth.
Nassau County Executive Salary
-2022-2023 salary: $211,821
-2024 salary: $227,959 after cost-of-living adjustments
The increase — about 7.6% — was caused by a 2007 law that ties elected officials’ salaries to annual changes in the consumer price index, capped at 4%. He did not receive a cost-of-living adjustment in 2023, which would have pushed his salary above $220,000.
Professional background and sources of income
Before joining county government, Blakeman built a career as a lawyer and businessman, earning his living through private practice and corporate deals. His most notable business transaction was a high-value land deal in 2007, which reportedly brought in a significant commission.
Databases such as Wikipedia do not contain a complete assessment of his assets and liabilities. As a result, any net worth figure remains speculative.
