Stephanie Meket
“Meket” sounds like “wreck it,” which is what can easily happen to your financial security if you don’t take money seriously, says out and single greenback guru Stephanie Meket, 40. The Midwest native has been advising high net worth LGBT clients from her Park Avenue office since 2001. Changes in marriage equality rights mean that Meket finds herself working twice as hard today “because now I have to re-inform people who’ve entered into civil unions or domestic partnerships. What is or isn’t covered? What is still not protected by law? How does it impact their money?” Her favorite clients: folks “who really do want to retire and not just talk about it.” Besides becoming fluent in Italian, Meket’s biggest accomplishment is “merging an institutional equity trading background with the school of hard knocks being a lesbian.” –S Stroh
