White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt’s spouse, Nicholas Riccio, is the epitome of the American ideal.
In a recent interview with the Portsmouth Herald, Riccio, who is 59 years old and 32 years older than his wife, revealed the inspiring tale of how he went from homelessness to financial success.
He was able to amass a substantial wealth and establish himself as a leading personality in the real estate sector. His rise from poverty to wealth is evidence of his tenacity and drive.
Recently, Nicholas Riccio thought back on his challenging childhood, growing up as one of four children in a low-income family. He opened up about the devastating loss of his mother to cancer and the emotional toll of his parents’ divorce.
Riccio revealed that he moved out when he was eighteen and stayed with friends for a while. He recalled how, when he was nineteen or twenty, he would go to their houses pretending to watch a game—just so he could take a shower.
His narrative demonstrates a remarkable turnaround from an unstable life to multimillion-dollar economic success.
After graduating from Alvirne High School in 1983, Riccio continued his education at Plymouth State University. In 1990, he enrolled in a real estate course after graduating from college, a choice that would ultimately influence his future.
Riccio took bold financial risks in his early real estate career, even taking out loans with exorbitant interest rates ranging from 50 to 100 percent. These risks ultimately contributed to his success.
His perseverance eventually paid off, and a successful real estate company was founded. Nautical Beach Properties, a subsidiary of Riccio Enterprises LLC, is presently led by Riccio.
His astute investment techniques and unwavering perseverance in the real estate industry have enabled him to accumulate an estimated net worth of 6$.
At a political event, Nicholas met Karoline Leavitt, who is currently the White House Press Secretary, through a mutual friend.
The couple made their engagement public in December 2023, despite the fact that they have kept a lot of their relationship private.
Shortly thereafter, they exchanged vows in a private ceremony. Karoline gave birth to their first child, a son named Nicholas Robert, in July 2024.
