Kimberly Guilfoyle, a former television personality and one-time fiancée of Donald Trump Jr., has come under renewed scrutiny over her finances after stepping down as the United States ambassador to Greece following allegations of misconduct and questionable financial dealings.
Guilfoyle’s departure from the diplomatic post has brought attention to her business interests, investments and earnings from her career in law, television, consulting and political fundraising. According to financial disclosures submitted before her Senate confirmation, her declared assets were valued between $4 million and $18.3 million, while she reported earning more than $1.7 million from various professional activities.
The White House announced on October 13 that Guilfoyle had been asked to resign following media reports raising questions about her conduct. President Donald Trump’s administration took the decision after allegations emerged that she had sought financial assistance from a political donor and potentially offered access to senior administration officials in return.
Guilfoyle has denied wrongdoing and said she intends to defend her reputation. Her financial disclosure, submitted as part of the confirmation process for her diplomatic appointment, provides an insight into the sources of her wealth. The document listed interests in businesses, stocks and investment funds, alongside income from podcasting, consulting and fundraising.
Her holdings included a business identified as Metropolitan Medspa, based in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, which was valued in the disclosure within a range of $1 million to $5 million. Guilfoyle also reported investments in publicly traded companies and other financial instruments. Her disclosed stock holdings included shares in technology companies such as Apple, Alphabet and Amazon. The value of her stock and investment portfolio was estimated at between $1.7 million and $7.7 million in the financial disclosure.
Her professional earnings have come from several fields. Before entering diplomatic service, Guilfoyle worked as a prosecutor, legal commentator and television host. She became widely recognised through her appearances on Fox News, where she worked for nearly 12 years before leaving the network in 2018.
She subsequently became active in Republican politics, political fundraising and media-related ventures, strengthening her association with the Trump family. Guilfoyle was born in San Francisco in 1969 and trained as a lawyer before beginning her career in the legal system. She served as a prosecutor in San Francisco and later worked in Los Angeles.
Her transition from law to television brought her greater public visibility, while her political activities subsequently established her as a prominent supporter of Trump and his political movement. Her personal life has also attracted considerable public attention. Guilfoyle was married to Gavin Newsom, who later became California’s governor, from 2001 to 2006.
She subsequently married entrepreneur Eric Villency, with whom she has a son. The marriage ended in 2009. She began dating Donald Trump Jr. in 2018, and the couple became engaged before their relationship ended in 2024. Her connection to the Trump family continued to shape her public profile, eventually leading to her nomination as ambassador to Greece.
She was confirmed by the US Senate in September 2025 and took up the diplomatic assignment in Athens, where she represented Washington in its relations with Greece. The controversy surrounding her tenure intensified after reports alleged that she had asked political donor Eric Deters to pay a $100,000 credit card bill. The reports were based on messages that Deters said he had exchanged with Guilfoyle.
She and her lawyers disputed the allegations, maintaining that the money related to legitimate payments for earlier appearances and speaking engagements rather than an improper exchange for political access. Guilfoyle announced that she would no longer serve as ambassador after the White House’s decision.
She described the allegations as false and said she would vigorously defend her name, reputation and integrity. Her departure has placed both her diplomatic career and financial dealings under renewed public scrutiny. While her disclosure documents offer a broad picture of her declared assets and professional income, they do not establish a single definitive figure for her current net worth.
The reported asset ranges also should not be treated as equivalent to cash holdings or as a precise measure of wealth after accounting for liabilities. The developments mark a sharp turn for Guilfoyle, whose career has spanned law, television, political advocacy and diplomacy. Her financial profile, once largely associated with her media work and business ventures, has now become part of the wider discussion surrounding the allegations that preceded the end of her tenure in Greece.
