Ben Nash Net Worth 2026: PCS Wireless CEO Career

No reputable outlet publishes a net worth estimate for Ben Nash, the co-founder of PCS Wireless, so this page does not give one. His wealth rests on a privately held company that he started at 18 and that reported $740 million in 2014 sales and, by a 2021 trade report, more than $1.3 billion in annual turnover.

What is Ben Nash's net worth?

The $6 million figure that used to sit on this page had no source, and we have taken it out. Forbes, Bloomberg and Celebrity Net Worth do not publish an estimate for him. PCS Wireless is private, and Nash's ownership share has never been reported, so the company's revenue cannot be turned into a personal number.

The public record still shows the scale of his business and spending. In 2016 The Real Deal reported that Chaim "Ben" T. Nash paid $16.5 million for an 8,470-square-foot penthouse with an indoor pool at the Mansions at Acqualina in Sunny Isles Beach, Florida, with the developer taking back a $12 million mortgage. The South Florida Business Journal reported in September 2024 that a firm tied to him sold a Sunny Isles Beach penthouse for $17 million. In 2015 The New York Times reported that an LLC in which he was part of the ownership group gave $250,000 to a PAC backing Ted Cruz's presidential campaign.

Where the money comes from

PCS Wireless

PCS Wireless buys new and used phones, tablets and wearables, refurbishes and grades them, and resells them to carriers, retailers and wholesalers. According to Business Insider, Nash started the company at 18 with a couple of friends and outside investors from the wireless trade. He said it was profitable in its first month, repaid its investors within a year, and that he later bought out one partner and all of the investors.

Business Insider reported sales of $740 million in 2014, roughly twice the 2013 level, with a target of $1 billion in 2015. Instead of selling equity, the company took a $100 million loan from White Oak Global Advisors, the firm led by Andre Hakkak. Nash told the magazine that PCS and the related businesses he and partner Praveen Arora had launched or invested in employed about 2,000 people.

In 2021 Technology Magazine put PCS's turnover above $1.3 billion, with device processing in five countries and sales in more than 80. A 2020 press release described the same footprint and said PCS was spinning off TessaB, a blockchain platform for trading used devices, as an independent company. Nash, identified there as co-founder and CEO, joined TessaB's board.

Angel and venture investing

• DSCN Capital – a 2016 press release named Nash as a co-founder of this early-stage fund with David Schottenstein and Eli Nash. At launch it had invested in more than 19 startups.
• Mizzen + Main – WWD reported in 2016 that Nash led a $3 million Series B round for the Dallas menswear brand alongside NFL punter Thomas Morstead and others.
• Other deals – PitchBook lists him as an angel investor in Mizzen and Main and in Vugo, a startup that put ads on rideshare tablets. PitchBook now describes him as co-founder and chairman of PCS Wireless.

Real estate

Nash has invested in property since his twenties. In 2007 the New York Daily News profiled him at 25 as CEO of both PCS Wireless and V3 Hotels. At the time he was developing a planned 22-story, 164-room Hotel Indigo in downtown Brooklyn that he valued at $60 million. Nash told Business Insider in 2015 that the real estate side had once distracted him and cost him money, and that PCS's growth was uneven for years as a result.

Early life and family

The old version of this page said Nash was born into a family of cellphone distributors and followed his father into the trade. We found nothing to support that, and it has been removed. The Daily News reported that he is a Crown Heights, Brooklyn native who grew up in a large family. According to Business Insider, he left boarding school in 2000 and, at 17, took a sales job at a Manhattan cellphone wholesaler, where he said he was the top seller. The Times described him as a former yeshiva student.

Ben Nash wife

The earlier claim that he is married to a woman named Kellie had no source and appears to have been taken from a different person with the same name, so we have removed it. We found no reputable report naming a spouse for the PCS Wireless co-founder. His personal life is private.

Education

This page previously said Nash held a BA and a Master of Applied Finance. No source ties those degrees to the PCS Wireless co-founder, and they appear to belong to another Ben Nash. Published accounts say the opposite: Business Insider called him a high-school dropout who left boarding school to sell phones. In 2007 he told the Daily News that he hoped to study for a finance degree. We found no report that he did.

Professional life

Recognition came early. Crain's New York Business listed him at 26 in its 2009 40 Under 40, and Forbes included him in its 2011 30 Under 30 social/mobile list, where the editors noted that his company had already been operating for over a decade.

Age, height and weight

The previous page said he was 41, 5 feet 3 inches tall and 70 kg, with no source. Published ages point elsewhere. Crain's listed him as 26 in 2009, Business Insider gave 32 in March 2015 and The Real Deal gave 33 in November 2016, which places his birth around 1982–83 and his age in the early-to-mid forties in 2026. His exact birth date, height and weight have not been published by a reliable source.

Why there is no reliable figure

PCS Wireless does not publish accounts. The last revenue figures in the press are a few years old, and no outlet has reported Nash's stake or any dividends. His real estate deals, political giving and startup investments show wealth well beyond the old $6 million claim, but they cannot be added into a responsible total. Until a reputable publisher estimates it, the honest answer is that his net worth is not publicly known.
