Subsequently, Cuomo’s career began in 1982 when he worked as a campaign manager for his father Mario Cuomo, but soon after, in 1984 he changed his field of expertise to law, as he started working as a New York assistant district attorney, and later worked at the Blutrich, Falcone & Miller law firm. Afterwards, he founded Housing Enterprise for the Less Privileged (HELP) in 1986, andtwo years later, he quit the law firm, and focused more on HELP.Beginning in 1990, Cuomo became the Chairman of the New York City Homeless Commission, until 1993, which increased his net worth somewhat. He then became the Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development of the Department of Housing and Urban Development. In 1997 he was promoted to the position of Secretary of HUD, and stayed on in that position until 2001, largely increasing the overall size of his net worth.
To speak further of his accomplishments, in 2006 he became the Attorney General of New York, serving in the position until 2011, increasing further his net worth. In 2010, he returned to direct politics, becoming the Governor of New York, defeating Carl Paladino with 63% of the votes. In 2014, he won his second mandate with 56% of the votes, which certainly eventually contributed further to his net worth.
