Worth knowing
864 members, $15.3M of revenue, and not a word about the initiation fee
The River Club's 2026 general manager search is unusually forthcoming about the club's books and silent about the price of joining. DENEHY puts total memberships at 864, gross revenue at roughly $15.3M, dues revenue at $8.03M and food and beverage at $1.84M, with private events supplying 54% of the F&B line. It publishes no initiation fee and no per-member dues rate, so neither is recorded here. For context, the club's FY2023 Form 990 reported $12.9M of total revenue, on a different accounting basis. The club also completed a $25 million building renovation in 2018.
