Erika Kirk’s growing fortune has now been revealed, months after her husband, conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, was assassinated in Utah.
The widow stepped in as CEO of the multi-million-dollar organization Turning Point USA, and massive sums of money have since flowed in.
Following Charlie’s tragic death, the family has gained extensive financial security, according to The Daily Mail.
Records reviewed by the outlet show Charlie held a life insurance policy worth at least $10 million, likely paid out directly after his assassination.
Erika also personally received another $10 million in donations, thanks to an outpouring of support from major conservative figures and donors.
That total doesn’t include the huge revenue Turning Point USA produced last year, reportedly over $100 million combined across its ventures.
Before his death, Charlie received $390,493 in salary from the organization. While Erika’s exact earnings as CEO have not been disclosed, insiders expect her compensation will be similar.
The couple also had a large amount of cash from selling their home in Scottsdale, Arizona, earlier this year for about $5.25 million.
“He wrote 16 books and earned royalties from them. He had a radio show, a podcast, and income from all of it. His family is extremely well-secured,” Turning Point member Mike Miller told The Daily Mail.
“He took better care of his family than anyone else I know, and I know many billionaires,” Miller added. “Everything was about her, the kids, and God.”
Erika also owns a Bible-inspired clothing brand, Proclaim Streetwear, which has completely sold out its products since Charlie’s passing.
The New Public Face of Turning Point USA
Since September 10, the day her husband was killed, Erika has stepped into the spotlight as the main spokesperson for Turning Point.
She has traveled across the U.S., continuing Charlie’s messaging and mission for conservative youth activism.
This week, she headlined a town hall moderated by CBS News.
The event promoted that Erika would “open up about life, loss, and the state of political discourse” after the assassination.
“The event, filmed before a live audience, includes Kirk taking questions from young evangelicals, religious leaders, and voices across the political spectrum,” CBS said in a press release. “
It will focus on America’s political divide and how we might find a way forward.”
Despite praise from supporters, Erika has also faced fierce backlash.
Critics accuse her of turning her husband’s murder into a public spectacle, pointing out the pyrotechnics, star-studded guest appearances, and glamorous fashion choices featured at many events since Charlie’s death.
She continues to defend her role, insisting she is keeping Charlie’s legacy alive while raising their children and guiding the organization he founded.
