Dennis Shields Net Worth
Affluent banker Dennis Shields got recently into the media spotlight as a new boyfriend of The Real Housewives of New York City star Bethenny Frankel. His current occupation is Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors at Esquire Bank which he also helped to found. As of 2016, Shields’ net worth is estimated to be over $11 million.
Esquire Bank is federally-chartered bank. Besides this business venture, Shields works as a Chairman of YieldStreet, which is a crowdfunding company. One of the largest in America. On the top of that, Dennis is also CEO of LawCash. That’s a lot of responsibility and lot of money.
Shields wrote two books and holds frequent speeches on various financial and legal topics. He really isn’t though in to the whole celebrity thing so we don’t expect him to appear in person on The Real Housewives of New York City next to his new girlfriend.
Shields comes from an affluent family. His father is a neurologist and his mother a lawyer. He married Jill Schwartzberg in 1990 and according to various sources, they are still legally married. Yet, they are working on a divorce. So technically speaking, Frankel is dating a married man but that’s not the whole truth. The couple knows each other for a very long time and only recently their relationship took a romantic path.
