Sheldon Solow Net Worth: Sheldon Solow is an American real estate mogul who has a net worth of $3.6 billion. Born in 1929, he was a small builder when he risked everything in 1972 to build a 50-floor office building at 9 West 57th Street, which is still believed to be a popular and profitable location because of its magnificent view of Central Park. He completed the feat together with the architect Gordon Bunshaft. After dropping out from New York University, Solow started working in real estate business, and thanks to the risk he took, now he owns a set of residential and commercial properties, including the Solow Tower on East 66th Street, Sutton Place North, The Upper East Side, Rivers Bend and One East River Place. Moreover, this self-made billionaire has been well-known for the numerous legal battles he has fought. Solow is also interested in collecting pieces of arts, and his collection includes sculptures by Giacometti, Henry Moore and Van Gogh, and paintings by Matisse, Francis Bacon, Balthus and many more. In 2007, he gave two floors of a New York City townhouse to the Institute of Fine Arts of New York University.
