3. Kimberly Guilfoyle Has Built a Succesful Law Career
Guilfoyle kickstarted her law career working as a prosecutor in San Francisco. She lost her job in 1996 when a new District Attorney axed 14 prosecutors of the city, but that didn’t make Kimberly think of abandoning the profession. In fact, it motivated her to move to the most populous city of California (Los Angeles) where she spent a few years working as a Deputy District Attorney on various cases.
Taking her law career to Los Angeles proved to be a smart choice; she was honored several times for her efforts and ultimately gained the attention of the San Francisco District Attorney’s Office. Kimberly Guilfoyle was re-hired to serve as an Assistant District Attorney for San Francisco in 2000 and she held the office until 2004.
4. She’s Also An Actress
Kimberly Guilfoyle is very far from being an accomplished actress but some know her as the woman who played a public defender in Happily Even After, a 2004 film that was showcased at the Tribeca Film Festival.
5. Was Once The First Lady of San Francisco
Kimberly has been married and divorced twice, thus far.
Her first marriage was to Gavin Newsom, they got married in 2001 and officially parted ways in 2006. Thanks to this marriage, she reigned as the First Lady of San Francisco from the 8th of January 2004 to the 26th of February 2006. Nonetheless, her ex-husband remained a Mayor until the 10th of January 2011.
6. And She’s Dating The Son of A President – Donald Trump Jr.
Following the end of her marriage with the 42nd Mayor of San Francisco who later become the 40th Governor of California, Kimberly got married to the CEO of Villency Design Group, Eric Villency. The marriage only lasted for a few years even though it saw the birth of her child Ronan Anthony. It started in 2006 and ended in 2009.
Many years later (in May 2018), it was exposed that she is in a relationship with Donald Trump Jr., the oldest child of the 45th President of the United States.
Net Worth of Kimberly Guilfoyle
From what we have discussed so far, it is very obvious that Kimberly has had multiple sources of income over the years. Even though we have been unable to substantiate this, it has been claimed that she earned a total of $8 million from her time with Fox.
Apart from her career as a media personality, Kimberly earned a great deal from her law career and bagged more income from other sources like the book she published in 2015.
In all, it is believed that she is worth as much as $20 million. Nevertheless, it is imperative to point out that this is only a rough estimate of her wealth and may not reflect the true value of her riches.

Why She Left Fox
It was in February 2006 that her journey with the network started. She served the establishment in various capacity and as such, it was very natural when it emerged in June 2017 that she made a long-term pact with Fox. Considering that, it was quite a surprise in July 2018 when it circulated that she will be leaving Fox to work for a Donald Trump political action committee.
It was thought that she left Fox voluntarily until it was reported that she was compelled to leave because of some allegations of sexual harassment hanging around her neck. As of this writing, no report has established the whole truth of the matter.
