THE husband of Karoline Leavitt, the 27-year-old White House Press Secretary, has a shocking background of his own.
Leavitt made history by being the youngest press secretary and having an impressive resume for her age, but her husband, Nicholas Riccio, has had several secret successes of his own.
“He doesn’t have social media, and he’s an introvert (complete opposite of me),” Leavitt wrote under an Instagram post of the couple.
“I respect his privacy on [social media] – but he’s my number one fan, the best dad, and just the best man I’ve ever met.”
Riccio, who is 32 years older than Leavitt, may not be in the spotlight at the White House like his wife, but he’s the center of attention in the New Hampshire real estate scene with his multi-million dollar property portfolio, Realtor.com reported.
Riccio started his portfolio while driving around in Hampton Beach, New Hampton, and decided to renovate the debilitating buildings.
The self-made millionaire bought 15 buildings by 2005 and got to work on his business, Riccio Enterprises LLC.
Riccio, a 59-year-old New Hampshire native, now has a net worth of $6 million and nine homes for rent under Nautical Beach Rentals in his home state and one in West Virginia.
Before he became a real estate mogul, Riccio battled his way through a rough upbringing where he spent years bouncing between his divorced parents’ homes.
By 18, Riccio was virtually homeless.
“When I was 19 or 20, I would call my buddies to go over [to] their houses to watch a game just so I could take a shower,” he told the Portsmouth Herald.
Riccio said he worked at grocery stores and borrowed money to pay his way through college.
In 1990, he took a real estate course and became infatuated with the industry.
Since then, Riccio has taken over the real estate world, but now he’s reportedly turning his sights elsewhere.
What’s Riccio’s new dream? Owning a professional sports team.
Riccio doesn’t keep his love of sports a secret. His home includes impressive sports memorabilia from boxing gloves autographed by Muhammad-Ali to photos of Larry Bird.
“My work in real estate has helped facilitate my dream of owning a professional sports team,” he told Seacoast Online.
“And that will happen one day in the near future.”
