He earned a bachelor's degree in business administration from the College of William and Mary in 1977 and an MBA from the University of Pittsburgh. After business school he joined Rockwell International in its automotive operations before moving into homebuilding.
Saville and his wife, Linda, are known for their philanthropy and their real estate. In 2020 they donated $20 million to open a new cancer screening and prevention center in Falls Church, Virginia. In 2017 they sold their Palm Beach home to hedge fund billionaire Ken Griffin for $85 million.

How Paul C. Saville made his money
Saville spent his career at Ryan Homes, now a subsidiary of NVR, working in a series of financial positions. His background in finance and strategic planning led him to serve as vice president of business planning, then chief financial officer and, in effect, chief operating officer. That long climb through the finance side of the business made him one of the company's key leaders.
In 2005 he became president and CEO of NVR, and in 2022 he was promoted to executive chairman, taking over from Dwight Schar. NVR builds homes in 16 states, mainly in the Mid-Atlantic and Midwest, and brings in $10.3 billion in annual revenue. Unlike most of the billionaires on this site, Saville did not found his company. His fortune comes from years of stock awards and pay as a top executive of a highly profitable homebuilder, along with the shares of NVR he has built up.
