Jeff Greene

Jeff Greene (born December 10, 1954) is an American real estate entrepreneur. He is a member of the Democratic Party and was a candidate in the 2010 Senate election primaries in Florida. He was a candidate in the 2018 Florida Gubernatorial election, but was eliminated in the primary, finishing in fourth place behind eventual nominee Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum, whom Greene later endorsed.

Greene was born in 1954 in Worcester, Massachusetts to a working class Jewish family.

He graduated from Doherty Memorial High School in Worcester after his family moved to Florida in 1970 when his father lost his business, staying with his great-aunt while he finished school. In Florida, his father worked refilling vending machines and his mother worked as a waitress.

Greene worked many jobs to put himself through college at Johns Hopkins University, graduating in three years with a B.A. in economics and sociology. Later he attended Harvard Business School, where he earned his Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree in 1977.

Jeff Greene has had a 40-year career in real estate, characterized by his portfolio of over a hundred buildings and custom homes. To pay for college, he relied on scholarships, loans, part-time jobs and taught Hebrew 3 days a week. To pay his way through Harvard Business School, Greene traveled the country selling circus tickets. In 1977, while he was pursuing his studies at Harvard Business School, he purchased his first property—a three-family house that he remodeled and utilized as his residence during his time at Harvard and rented out rooms. He had 18 properties at graduation.

In 1980, Greene relocated to Los Angeles, where he embarked on his first new construction project four years later. This project involved the development of a 27,654 square foot office building located at 11022 Santa Monica Blvd in West Los Angeles. Around the same time, he also acquired and rehabilitated two adjacent buildings at 11040 and 11050 Santa Monica Blvd.

During the late 1980s, Greene focused on constructing condominium buildings, including the ones situated at 3561 Clarington in Palms and 1875 South Beverly Glen in West Los Angeles. Additionally, he undertook the construction of a custom home at 23 Oakmont Drive in Brentwood.

Notably, in recent years, Greene successfully completed a project adjacent to an earthquake fault at 1825 North Las Palmas, positioned at the intersection of Franklin and Highland in Hollywood. The project involved the construction of a six-story, 118-unit apartment building.
