The 36th district attorney of New York County, Cyrus Roberts Vance Jr., aka Cyrus Vance, is considered one of the wealthiest attornies elected in New York state.
He served as Manhattan’s District Attorney for exactly 12 years, from January 1, 2010, to January 1, 2022.
At the time, he was one of the wealthiest officials to be elected as a district attorney in New York County, with an annual salary of $1,360,000, according to Observer reports of 2012.
In that case, Cyrus has accumulated an estimated $16 million solely from his tenure as a Manhattan District attorney.
Further, during his service in Manhattan, he earned a minimum of $60,000 from a blind trust, probably on an annual basis. Cyrus also had a thousand-dollar stake in mutual funds and several investments.
In addition, Cyrus Vance must have inherited the wealth of his late father, Cyrus Sr., who was a prominent figure in American politics, which eventually may have contributed to his net worth.
