Carl Liebert Net Worth 2026

Carl Liebert is an American executive who has run several large consumer companies: he was chief executive of 24 Hour Fitness, chief operating officer of USAA, briefly CEO of AutoNation, and then CEO of KWx, the parent company of real estate franchisor Keller Williams, from October 2020 to June 2022. No reputable outlet has published an estimate of his net worth. The $77.4 million figure that appeared on this page before had no source and has been removed. The most concrete number on record is his exit package from AutoNation: $3.75 million in severance in 2019, plus eligibility for more than 217,000 restricted shares, according to the Sun Sentinel.

What is Carl Liebert's net worth?

There is no figure from Forbes, Bloomberg or the business press. His pay at AutoNation, a public company, appeared in SEC filings, but his compensation at private employers such as Keller Williams and 24 Hour Fitness was never disclosed, and no one has published a total of his assets. A single net worth figure would be a guess, so this page does not give one.

Salary and compensation

The earlier version of this page gave his yearly income as $450,000, attributed to an unnamed "investigation." There is no source for that number, and it has been removed. What has been reported:

• AutoNation severance (2019). $3.75 million paid over 18 months, a pro-rated annual bonus, reimbursement of relocation costs, and eligibility for more than 217,000 shares of restricted stock, according to a company filing reported by the Sun Sentinel. AutoNation said the separation would cost it roughly $10 million to $11 million in the third quarter of 2019.
• Other roles. Pay at USAA, 24 Hour Fitness, The Home Depot and KWx has not been reported in the sources we found.

Career

24 Hour Fitness

Liebert joined 24 Hour Fitness from The Home Depot in 2006, a year after private equity firm Forstmann Little bought the gym chain for $1.6 billion. He resigned in May 2013 to become president of USAA Capital Corp. in San Antonio, American Spa reported. At the time the company had more than 21,000 employees.

AutoNation

He became CEO of AutoNation, the Fort Lauderdale auto retailer, in March 2019, when Mike Jackson moved to executive chairman. About four months later he was replaced by chief financial officer Cheryl Miller. Jackson said Liebert had brought passion and enthusiasm but that his skills were not a good match for auto retail, the Sun Sentinel reported. AutoNation then had 325 stores and $21.4 billion in 2018 sales.

Keller Williams

In October 2020 Keller Williams reorganized under a new holding company, KWx, covering Keller Williams Realty, Keller Mortgage, Keller Covered, Keller Offers and other affiliates. Co-founder Gary Keller became executive chairman and named Liebert CEO, citing his experience leading operations at AutoNation, 24 Hour Fitness, The Home Depot, Circuit City, USAA and General Electric, according to the company announcement. Liebert hired a new leadership group in 2021, including a chief legal officer and a president of Keller Home Financial Services, Inman reported.

On June 1, 2022, Keller told staff that Liebert was leaving effective immediately to pursue other opportunities, and that KWx would not immediately name a new CEO, according to RealTrends. His exit was one of several senior departures at the company in that period.

Early life and education

Louisville Business First described him in 2020 as a native of Southern Indiana, according to its headline. The Sun Sentinel gave his age as 53 in August 2019, which puts his birth around 1966. The earlier version of this page said he holds a physical science degree from the U.S. Naval Academy and an MBA from Vanderbilt; we could not confirm either in the sources we checked, so we have not repeated them as fact.

Personal life

The previous version of this page named a wife and described their relationship in generic terms, with no source. We found no reputable confirmation, so that has been removed.

Net worth compared

For other executives on this site, see Carl Panattoni, linked from the earlier version of this page, and Amazon CFO Brian Olsavsky, whose pay is disclosed in SEC filings.

Why no figure is given

Liebert has held top jobs at several large companies, but only one of them, AutoNation, was public during his tenure, and he was there for about four months. His pay elsewhere and his personal investments are not public. Until a reputable outlet publishes an estimate, his net worth is unknown.
