Candace Owens’ net worth and public prominence resurfaced in online debate after podcaster Tim Pool accused her of financially benefiting from what he described as an attempt to destroy Charlie Kirk’s legacy.Tim Pool’s December 3, 2025 post criticized Owens for “publishing texts, out of context posts” and “attempting to eviscerate Charlie’s legacy,” arguing that such conduct was “worth every penny to her.” His remarks followed a series of escalating claims Owens has made about Kirk’s September assassination, including allegations of betrayal within Turning Point USA (TPUSA) and assertions of foreign involvement.Pool, who said he recently received information “that put the final pieces together,” has publicly stated he believes Owens and several of Kirk’s close associates “betrayed” him.More about Candace Owens’ net worth and career backgroundAccording to Celebrity Net Worth, Candace Owens has an estimated net worth of $5 million, accumulated through a combination of political commentary, media ventures, book sales, podcasting, and previous roles at conservative organizations.Owens rose to national prominence in the late 2010s after launching a YouTube channel and blog that positioned her as a forceful critic of progressive politics. She later joined TPUSA as communications director and built a large personal platform through media appearances and her own talk show, Candace, which debuted at The Daily Wire in 2021.Candace Owens has remained a polarizing figure throughout her career, frequently engaging in cultural and political debates.

"I now can say with full confidence that I believe Charlie Kirk was betrayed by Candace Owens and some of the very people who claimed to be his friend."Tim Pool @TimcastLINKI received information this morning that put the final pieces together for me. I now can say with full confidence that I believe Charlie Kirk was betrayed by Candace Owens and some of the very people who claimed to be his friend.Yes I will be naming names and providing evidence for my claims. And I am making a personal plea to every well-meaning person who donated to this organization to say thank you.You were lied to. And Candace knew.Pool’s post came after Candace Owens reportedly alleged that TPUSA leadership misled donors and that the organization’s internal failures contributed to circumstances surrounding Kirk’s death, according to media reports from December 3, 2025.Pool’s comments sparked immediate reaction from conservative commentators, including Allie Beth Stuckey, who called Owens “hateful” and accused her of trying to “destroy the organization that Charlie Kirk built.” Stuckey criticized Owens for advising donors to seek refunds, and said she hoped Owens would “name names so the lawsuits can follow.” Stuckey has reportedly stepped in to fill Kirk’s role at several TPUSA events following his death.Kentucky Girl @NotwokenowLINKThis hateful, despicable woman is actively trying to destroy the organization that Charlie Kirk built and loved. Now she’s advising people to ask for their donations to TPUSA to be refunded. If you support Candace Owens in any way, you should be ashamed of yourself. And please don’t follow me. I hope she does name names, so the lawsuits can follow.Candace Owens has continued to allege a broader conspiracy surrounding Kirk’s killing, including claims that French President Emmanuel Macron approved an assassination plot, assertions for which she has not released evidence. She has also argued that both foreign actors and individuals within TPUSA contributed to the circumstances leading to Kirk’s death. None of the allegations she has made has been supported by evidence or independently verified.
