No reputable publisher has estimated Mark Tepper's net worth. The $106 million figure that used to lead this page was worked out by the page itself from guesses about his salary, and the same page mixed up his firm's founding year and its assets, so we have removed it. What is documented: Tepper is a certified financial planner who founded Strategic Wealth Partners (SWP) in Ohio in 2008, serves as its CEO, and is a regular co-host on Fox Business's Mornings with Maria and Varney & Co.

What is Mark Tepper's net worth?

There is no estimate from Forbes, Bloomberg, Celebrity Net Worth or a major newspaper. Strategic Wealth Partners is independently owned, and its profits and Tepper's ownership stake are not public. He has not disclosed his own wealth.

The earlier version of this page claimed his salary "could net him up to $1 million monthly" and his yearly earnings ran to $7.5 million to $10 million, based on "comparison with professionals of similar profiles." That is not a source, and we do not repeat those numbers. Advisory firm owners are paid mainly from fees on client assets; without knowing the firm's assets and margins, a personal figure cannot be worked out.

Yearly earnings and salary

His income is not public. His documented income sources are:

  • Strategic Wealth Partners. SWP is a registered investment adviser offering wealth management, investment management, merger and acquisition advisory, and 401(k) plan services. It says it brings wealth advisers, investment strategists, CPAs, attorneys and investment bankers under one roof.
  • Clients. According to his firm biography, he works with high-net-worth individuals from business owners to professional athletes, and he is an NFLPA Registered Player Financial Advisor.
  • Books. He has written three books his firm describes as Amazon bestsellers: Walk Away Wealthy: The Entrepreneur's Exit-Planning Playbook, Exceptional Wealth and The Money Playbook: The Professional Athlete's Guide to Building Lifelong Wealth, plus the free eBook Tilting the Odds.
  • Media. He appears regularly on Fox Business and has been a guest on CNBC programs including Halftime Report and Trading Nation.

Professional life

Tepper founded Strategic Wealth Partners in 2008, according to his firm biography. The old version of this page gave both 2003 and 2008; the firm's own page says 2008. The company operates from the Cleveland area, with advisers registered in Independence, Ohio.

Under his leadership SWP appeared on Inc. magazine's Inc. 5000 list of fast-growing private companies for four years in a row, the firm says. In 2015 Crain's Cleveland Business named him to its 40 Under 40 list, listing him as president of the firm at age 35.

His media profile has grown steadily. SWP's site archives CNBC appearances going back to 2018. In 2021 and 2022 he appeared on CNBC to discuss tech-stock selloffs and his view that a coming recession would be longer and deeper than most expected. In 2025 and 2026 he has regularly appeared on Fox Business discussing artificial intelligence stocks, oil prices, data centers and private-equity markets.

The old page said he previously worked at Northwestern Mutual and Capital Planners. We could not confirm that in a published source, so it is not repeated here.

Early life and family
