Kimberly Guilfoyle has certainly worn a lot of hats since she stepped into the public eye. We first came to know her as the first spouse of San Francisco, when she was married to then-mayor Gavin Newsom. The couple wed in 2001, two years before Gavin was elected, and were quickly nicknamed The New Kennedys.

That moniker didn't last as the duo announced their divorce in 2005.

Although Kimberly would eventually become a television personality based on her own legal background, the former attorney's personal life has always been more polarizing. In 2018 she began dating Donald Trump Jr. and quickly became immersed in his father's political sphere.

She and Don Jr. were engaged in 2020 but four years later may have called it quits. What does this mean for her net worth? She might have gotten a new job out of the breakup.

She got her Juris Doctor from the University of San Francisco School of Law in 1994 and briefly worked as a prosecutor in San Francisco before being fired in 1996 when Terence Hallinan was elected district attorney, per the San Francisco Chronicle. Kimberly spent four years as a deputy district attorney in Los Angeles before moving to New York in January 2004 to host Court TV's Both Sides.

In February 2006, Kimberly's time on Fox News began when she began hosting their weekend show, The Lineup. Although it was eventually canceled, Kimberly remained in the Murdoch-helmed broadcasting company as co-host of The Five until 2018, when she left to work on Donald Trump's 2020 presidential campaign — though it was reported that she was asked to resign due to sexual harassment allegations, per The New Yorker.

Her media career included a lot of side hustles such as a weekly segment on The O'Reilly Factor and occasionally guest hosting other Fox shows like Hannity, On the Record, Justice with Judge Jeanine, and Fox & Friends. In between all of her television appearances, Kimberly found the time to publish a book titled Making the Case.

According to Forbes, the book is "replete with fantastic career advice which everyone should heed, but is especially valuable for women."

In April 2024, Kimberly posted to Instagram about a children's book that was available for pre-sale. Titled The Princess & The Pup, she described it as a "heartfelt story that teaches children that it’s easier to be courageous with a friend by your side."

She also promised that 10 percent of the book sales would be donated to Furry Friends Jupiter, a nonprofit organization that cares for abused animals.
