Conservative activist Charlie Kirk, 31, who was shot and killed Wednesday while hosting an event at Utah Valley University, had amassed a net worth of about $12 million at the time of his death, according to a website that covers financial and investment news.
Kirk, who was the co-founder and CEO of Turning Point USA, was able to set up his family — wife, Erika, and two young children — to be financially stable before his death with an estimated net worth of $12 million, according to ValueWalk.
Turning Point USA is non-profit organization Kirk founded in 2012, whose mission is “to identify, educate, train, and organize students to promote the principles of fiscal responsibility, free markets, and limited government,” according to its website.
“… Charlie launched Turning Point out of his parents’ garage as an 18-year-old with no money, no name recognition, only a dream,” the company’s website reads in a homepage pop-up honoring its founder.
As CEO of Turning Point USA, Kirk’s salary increased from $27,000 in 2016 to more than $407,000 in 2021, according to Times Now.
His personal holdings included three high-end homes, according to Times Now: “a $4.75 million estate near Phoenix with sweeping desert views, a nearby apartment, and a beachside condominium on Florida’s Gulf Coast.”
Kirk was also the author of several books, hosted a podcast called “The Charlie Kirk Show” and a talk show on Trinity Broadcast Network called “Charlie Kirk Today.”
