Owning Manhattan's Nile now worth $9 million after selling first home in 'challenging year'

Nile is a star on Netflix’s Owning Manhattan, otherwise known as ‘The Broker Who Never Sleeps’. He sold his first home in 2008, hailed the “most challenging year” in the real estate industry.

Now worth a whopping $9 million, the Netflix show cast member was working under millionaire Ryan Serhant. Nile has sold more than $560 million in sales and worked in real estate for a decade.

Owning Manhattan star worth millions

Nile Lundgren, who heads his own team at Ryan Serhant’s agency, is worth around a whopping $9 million today, as per Stylecaster. He’s made more than $560 million worth of sales in the last six years!

It’s not always been easy, though. He wrote, “On Netflix’s Owning Manhattan, you’ll hear me say, “I’m a veteran” and this is exactly what I mean. Success is not instant; it takes time, patience, and perseverance.”

Thanks to his successful social media presence and his salaried position at Highline Residential – having left Serhant in 2023 – he still earns a considerable amount annually.

Nile sold his first home in 2008

Nile sold his first ever home in real estate in 2008, when the Wall Street Crash took place. Known as the most challenging time in the industry, he sold a small home with a tiny balcony.

He wrote, “Taking it back to 2008- where it all began. This was the first home I ever sold, and I haven’t looked back since.” At the time, Nile wore a ‘I heart NY’ top while posing for a memorable snap.

The home featured a Fedder air conditioner outside the front. His first exclusive happened a year later, in Brooklyn in 2009. He wrote, “I’m proud of my journey. It’s been a long road paved with hard work.”

‘Confidence’ is his middle name

Nile delivered an impressive pitch on Owning Manhattan which was praised by fans everywhere. He called himself the “cut throat killer” with “confidence” as his middle name.

He told a promising client his team sold $100 million worth of real estate last year alone as they created output on a daily and weekly basis, rather than just “putting it on the market and hosting an event”.

Nile’s plan is to speak to buyers at least three times a day, otherwise “there would be a problem”. He told the client he “has the people right now” and simply wants to add $20 million to his resume.
