The Miami mayor held onto lucrative side gigs while leading his hometown, generating millions of dollars — and plenty of criticism.
s a Miami City commissioner 12 years ago, Francis Suarez was worth negative $99,000. A dozen years later, he sits atop an estimated $6 million fortune. How could anyone make that much money on a meager city salary? Simple: By working private-sector jobs while serving in office.
The potential for conflicts-of-interest is clear, according to Virginia Canter, a former White House associate counsel who now works at a watchdog group named Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington. “He’s got to account for what he was accepting this compensation for.”he son of Miami’s first Cuban-born mayor, Suarez stayed in Florida for college, earning a bachelor’s degree from Florida International University in 2001 and a law degree from the University of Florida in 2004.
Suarez paid down debt as his property values recovered with time. His net worth turned positive in 2013 and reached $250,000 by 2016, according to financial disclosures he filed at the time. He left Alvarez and Barbara and got a position at a more prominent Florida firm named GrayRobinson. This time, he bought at exactly the right moment. Real estate values in south Florida surged over the next few years, as people flocked to the warm weather and low taxes available in the Sunshine State, especially during the pandemic. The value of Suarez’ home skyrocketed to an estimated $2.9 million.
