About Nancy Lerner

Nancy Lerner owes her riches to her billionaire dad, Al Lerner (d. 2002), and to his banking fortune.

Al started his career as a furniture salesman, invested in Cleveland-area real estate and bought control of Equitable Bancorp in 1981.

Equitable Bancorp and Maryland National formed the credit card giant MBNA, whose 2005 merger with Bank of America created a $35 billion enterprise.

The Lerners bought the Cleveland Browns in 1999 and sold the team to Jimmy Haslam for about $1 billion in 2012.
