He is the son of an Italian immigrant who had come here from New Orleans as a car salesman and worked his way up to own the Mike Persia dealership downtown and then another, Joe Conte Chevrolet, in Clear Lake.
By the time he died unexpectedly in March 1993, Conte had amassed a fortune later valued at more than $10 million. It included land with buildings in the Texas Medical Center and nearly three full blocks downtown, about $2 million in cash and a huge home on a River Oaks cul-de-sac that had never been mortgaged and sat on a prime lot next to former Enron CEO Jeff Skilling's.
The family of Joe Conte owns this house.
