Cliff Findlay Net Worth 2026: Findlay Automotive Group

No reputable outlet has published an estimate of Cliff Findlay's net worth. The $12.5 million figure and the $500,000 yearly income that earlier appeared on this page had no source and have been removed. What is on record is the business he runs: Findlay Automotive Group, the family dealer group his parents founded in Las Vegas in 1961. The company says it now has 35 dealerships across Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Idaho and Washington. Findlay is a former UNLV basketball player, a major UNLV booster and the founder of the Southern Nevada Sports Hall of Fame.

What is Cliff Findlay's net worth?

There is no net worth figure for Findlay from Forbes, Bloomberg, Celebrity Net Worth or the Las Vegas business press. Findlay Automotive Group is privately owned by the family and does not report revenue or profit.

The scale of the business is well documented, though. As far back as 2011 the Las Vegas Review-Journal called it one of the largest privately owned companies in Nevada, with more than 1,100 employees and nearly 22,000 vehicles sold in 2010, according to the group's CFO. It had 23 dealerships then; it lists 35 now. A group of that size is worth far more than $12.5 million, but because ownership and profits are private, no reliable dollar figure can be given for Cliff Findlay himself.

Cliff Findlay yearly earnings, monthly income and salary

His salary and income have never been published. The earlier claim that "a survey" put his income at $500,000 a year had no source and has been removed. As the leader and a family owner of a private dealer group, his earnings come from the business's profits, which are not disclosed.

UNLV basketball career

Before cars, Findlay played basketball for UNLV from 1967 to 1970. The Review-Journal's ranking of the program's top 100 players placed him 65th. He scored 812 points in 80 games, averaging 10.2 a game, and led the Rebels in rebounding in both 1968-69 (11.3 a game) and 1969-70 (10.8). The team went 60-23 in his three seasons, the Review-Journal reported.

Early life and family

Findlay is a fifth-generation Nevadan. He grew up in Panaca, where he was already a standout athlete by age 12, and moved to Las Vegas with his parents, brother Ed and sister Karen in 1961. He has said he did not want to leave the small town.

The Las Vegas Sun described him as 60 years old in February 2009, which puts him at about 77 in 2026. His exact birth date is not public.

Cliff Findlay wife

His wife is Donna Findlay. The Review-Journal reported in 2010 that the couple have three sons and a daughter. The sons, Justin, Robby and Nathan, have all held management roles in the dealer group.

Height

Findlay is a very tall man. UNLV listed him at 6 feet 6 inches as a player; the Las Vegas Sun in 2009 and a 2026 KLAS interview with the group's CFO both described him as 6 feet 8 inches. The weight figure on the earlier page had no source and has been removed.

Philanthropy and sports

• Findlay College Prep: he founded the prep basketball program, which was nationally ranked in 2009. Its nickname, the Pilots, honors his father's war service.
• Southern Nevada Sports Hall of Fame: Findlay Automotive created the Hall in 1997, and Findlay was inducted in 2001. In May 2026 he received the Hall's first Legacy Award, alongside inductees including Raiders owner Mark Davis, Nevada Business reported. The Hall uses its events to fund youth sports, Special Olympics and Miracle League teams, according to KLAS.
• UNLV: a long-time booster of Rebels athletics.

Net worth compared

Other family-owned dealer groups on this site include Aaron Zeigler's Zeigler Automotive in Michigan and Clay Cooley's group in Texas. See also Blake Wilkey. Like Findlay, none of them publishes profits, so personal net worth figures are rarely reliable.

Why there is no reliable figure

Findlay Automotive Group is held by the family and does not report revenue, profit, debt or how ownership is split among Cliff, his siblings and his children. Dealership real estate may be held separately. Without those numbers, any net worth figure would be a guess, so this page does not give one.
