Conservative activist Charlie Kirk, a prominent ally of former US President Donald Trump, died on Wednesday after being shot while speaking at an event at Utah Valley University. At the time of his death at age 31, Kirk’s estimated net worth was approximately $12 million. As the co-founder and chief executive of Turning Point USA, he transformed a small campus initiative into a significant force within conservative politics. His lifestyle was marked by luxury trips, a Spanish-style mansion, and ownership of several high-value properties. Financial records show Turning Point USA raised around a quarter-billion dollars since its inception, significantly enriching its leaders. Kirk’s salary grew substantially, reaching over $407,000 by 2021, a considerable increase from $27,000 in 2016. He owned three notable properties: a $4.75 million estate near Phoenix, a beachside condominium on Florida’s Gulf Coast, and a nearby apartment.
