Early life

Ernest Garcia II is the son of Ernest Garcia, who owned a liquor store, and was once the mayor of Gallup, New Mexico.[1] He dropped out, but eventually earned a bachelor's degree from the University of Arizona.[1]

Career

In October 1990, Garcia, then a Tucson-based real estate developer pleaded guilty to bank fraud, following the failure of Charles Keating's Lincoln Savings and Loan Association.[2] Garcia "fraudulently obtained a $30-million line of credit in a series of transactions that also helped Lincoln hide its ownership in risky desert Arizona land from regulators."[2] Garcia spent three years on probation, and he and his firm filed for bankruptcy.[3]

In 1991, he bought Ugly Duckling, a bankrupt rent-a-car franchise, for under $1 million and merged it with his own fledgling finance company, and turned it into a company selling and financing used cars for sub-prime buyers with poor credit history.[3]

As of December 2017, Garcia's net worth is estimated at $2.5 billion.[4]

Personal life

He is married, and lives in Tempe, Arizona.[1] His son, Ernest Garcia III, is CEO of Carvana.[4]

Garcia owns an apartment in New York's Trump Tower.[4]
