39. Michael Pascucci
2007 Power List
Formula for success: Start a company, establish a car-leasing division and then sell it for a mountain of cash. Pascucci, now owner of WLNY, is a well-known philanthropist across LI. He serves as the chairman of Telecare, the television network owned by the Diocese of Rockville Centre, and is regularly honored by nonprofits. For the past two years, Pascucci’s main focus has been the construction of Sebonac Golf Club in Southampton, already the most exclusive club in an area that is overrun by elite, members-only places. Although he dropped a bit in the list this year, we are practicing our golf game so that next year, when he is No. 1, we can go out and knock a few around.
