Glenn Greenwald net worth: How much is Glenn Greenwald worth?

American journalist, author, lawyer and founder of The Intercept Glenn Edward Greenwald has an estimated net worth of $8.5 million. However, this figure has been dismissed by the journalist, hence his actual net worth unknown. 

Greenwald founded The Intercept in 2013 together with Laura Poitras and Jeremy Scahill, with backing from the eBay billionaire Pierre Omidyar.

According to a 2013 Forbes, Omidyar was ready to spend the $250 million on the news outlet.

While his personal net worth is not known, Greenwald had slammed a 2017 article by ArticleBio which claimed his net worth to be $8.5 billion dollars.

In 2018, Greenwald had tweeted;

“Andrew McCabe’s GoFundMe Campaign Was Put Together by K Street PR Firm They’ve now closed the account – it got too much money – but it’s probably possible to ask McCabe for his bank information & he’ll let you wire your income directly into it.”

Greenwald practiced law in the litigation department at Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz from 1994 to 1995.

In 1996, he co-founded his own litigation firm, Greenwald Christoph & Holland (later renamed Greenwald Christoph PC), where he litigated cases concerning issues of U.S. constitutional law and civil rights.

Greenwald has also contributed to The salon and The Guardian.
