Early life and education
Nancy Shevell was born in New York City on November 20, 1959 and grew up in Edison, New Jersey. Now 65 years old, Nancy was born into a Jewish family with a tradition of working in trucking.
Her father, Myron P. Shevell, owned New England Motor Freight, an important division of the Shevell Corporation.
Growing up, Nancy displayed a tomboyish personality, often preferring trucks and sports to activities traditionally reserved for girls.
She played on her school’s girls soccer team and was active and athletic throughout her childhood.
She attended Arizona State University, where she majored in transportation, an unconventional choice for women at the time. Graduating with a degree in her field, she was well equipped to enter her family’s business, where she quickly rose through the ranks and made her mark in a male-dominated industry.
Personal life
Nancy is married to Paul McCartney. Before marrying McCartney, she was married to lawyer and politician Bruce Blakeman, with whom she shares a son, Arlen Blakeman.
Nancy and Bruce divorced in 2008 after more than two decades of marriage. Nancy met Paul McCartney in the Hamptons, where they both owned homes.
Their romance blossomed in 2007, and despite their efforts to keep it a secret, they were frequently spotted together by the media.
Paul and Nancy married on October 9, 2011, in a small, intimate ceremony at Old Marylebone Town Hall in London.
This day has special significance, marking John Lennon’s 71st birthday. McCartney’s daughter, fashion designer Stella McCartney, designed Nancy’s wedding dress, and the couple has since blended their families, including McCartney’s children from his previous marriages. .
Career
Nancy joined her family business, the Shevell Group of Companies, in the early 1980s.
Initially, she faced many challenges as a woman in a male-dominated industry, but her perseverance paid off and by 1986, she became vice president of the company. The Shevell Group, which includes New England Motor Freight, has long been an important player in the trucking industry.
Her business acumen helped the company overcome many challenges, including financial difficulties related to her family’s legal troubles.
In addition to the family business, Nancy served as a board member of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) from 2001 to 2011.
Appointed by Governor George Pataki, she plays an essential role in overseeing one of the largest public transportation networks in the United States.
Net worth
Nancy Shevell’s net worth is estimated to be $200 million.
Her wealth comes primarily from her role in the family’s trucking business, the Shevell Corporation, and real estate investments made with her husband, Paul McCartney.
