Bob Nouri Net Worth 2026

No reputable publisher has released a net worth estimate for Bob Nouri, and the $3.1 million figure on older profile sites had no source. It also sits badly with the documented facts: Nouri co-owns Nouri/Shaver Automotive Group, which ranked No. 40 on Automotive News' list of the top 150 U.S. dealership groups for 2024, with more than $2 billion in revenue, 16 franchised dealerships in California and Oregon, with over 2,000 employees.

What is Bob Nouri's net worth?

There is no sourced figure. Dealership groups are privately held and do not publish profits, and the ownership split between Nouri and his partners is not public. The old page's $100 million yearly income and its claim that his group runs more than 30 dealerships nationwide were not sourced and have been removed. Revenue is not profit: car dealers typically keep a small share of sales after costs, so the $2 billion figure shows the scale of the business, not his personal income.

Where the money comes from

Oklahoma dealerships (BN Dealerships)

Nouri built his first dealership group, B.N. Dealerships Management, in Oklahoma City. By 2012 he was well enough known in the trade that Automotive News profiled one of his stores for its heavy use of Facebook, with Nouri saying the page's thousands of likes helped close deals. In 2015 he sold his 20 Oklahoma dealerships and moved to Southern California to be near his mother, who was ill, according to the group's CEO in a 2023 interview with the Press-Telegram. The sale price was not disclosed.

Nouri/Shaver Automotive Group

After the move he started a new group, based in Costa Mesa, that bought dealerships in good locations that were underperforming on sales. Armina Mgerian joined as chief financial officer in 2018 and later became CEO and a partner, and Peter Shaver joined in 2019. The group's stores include locations in Van Nuys, Chino Hills, Huntington Beach and Anaheim. In February 2023 it bought Worthington Ford in Long Beach, the last dealership from Cal Worthington's former empire, and renamed it BP Ford. In June 2025 it sold Palmdale Kia to Trust Auto Group, a store Nouri said had not even been listed for sale, per a Performance Brokerage Services release.

Russell Westbrook partnership

NBA star Russell Westbrook got into the car business after appearing in a commercial for Nouri in Oklahoma City. The two became friends, and Nouri helped Westbrook open his first dealership in 2016, AfroTech reported. The old page listed Nouri as an owner at Russell Westbrook Autogroup; his exact stake in Westbrook-branded stores has not been reported.

Career timeline

Philanthropy and honors

Nouri, whose full name is Mehraban Khajehnouri, received a 2025 Ellis Island Medal of Honor, which recognizes immigrants and their descendants for contributions to American life, according to the Ellis Island Honors Society. The announcement lists him as a board trustee of the Farhang Foundation, which promotes Iranian art and culture; a supporter of Westbrook's Why Not Foundation; a former director of the Midnight Mission in Los Angeles; a board member of the Ayeneh Foundation, which works on addiction recovery; and a supporter of City of Hope.

Early life, education and family

Nouri's Farhang Foundation role and full name point to Iranian heritage, and the Ellis Island announcement describes a rise from janitor to dealership owner. Beyond that, reliable sources say little about his early life. The old page's claims about a wife named Lynn Goldsmith, a degree from Phillips University and a master's degree could not be verified and have been removed. His mother's illness prompted his 2015 move to California.

How old is Bob Nouri?

His date of birth has not been published in the sources we checked. The old page's age of 69, height and weight had no source and were removed.

Net worth compared

Other business owners on this site who built large private companies include Bob Zlotnik, who sold StarTex Power for about $160 million, and Larry Gies, whose Madison Industries stake Forbes values in the billions. Nouri's dealership group is large by revenue, but no outlet has valued his share.

Why no estimate is given

A fair estimate would need the price he got for his Oklahoma stores in 2015, his ownership share of Nouri/Shaver, the group's profits and the value of its real estate. None of that is public. This page will add a figure if a reputable publisher releases one.
