What is George Conway's Net Worth?
George Conway is an American attorney with a net worth of $20 million. When George and his ex-wife Kellyanne Conway were married, their combined net worth was over $44 million, as stated in their financial disclosures. Their marriage lasted from 2021 to 2023.
Despite Kellyanne's high-profile position in the Trump administration, George emerged as a vocal critic of Trump in 2018. During the 2020 presidential election, he was heavily involved with the Lincoln Project, a PAC aimed at preventing Trump's reelection. Notably, Conway argued the 2010 securities case of Morrison v. National Australia Bank before the US Supreme Court, winning the case.
Financial Details
According to a financial disclosure released in April 2017, Kellyanne earned approximately $900,000 in 2016. The same disclosure estimated their controlled assets were valued between $11 and $44 million.
Real Estate
The Conways lived in a Trump Tower condo in New York City from 2001 to 2008. Kellyanne even served on the Trump Tower condo co-op board. In February 2017, they purchased an $8 million mansion in Washington D.C. They also own a $6 million home in Alpine, New Jersey, one of the most expensive zip codes in the US.
Early Life and Education
George Conway III was born on September 2, 1963, in Boston, Massachusetts. His mother, a Filipino, worked as an organic chemist, and his American father worked for Raytheon. George attended Marlborough High School and later graduated magna cum laude from Harvard College in 1984 with a degree in biochemistry. He earned his Juris Doctor degree from Yale Law School in 1987, where he was an editor of the Yale Law Journal and president of the school's Federalist Society chapter.
Legal Career
Post-Yale, Conway clerked for Judge Ralph Winter Jr. of the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit before joining Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz in New York City. In 1994, he became a partner, focusing on litigation related to securities, contracts, antitrust, and mergers and acquisitions. He notably worked pro bono for Paula Jones in her sexual harassment lawsuit against President Bill Clinton.
In March 2010, Conway argued and won the Morrison v. National Australia Bank case with an 8-0 vote, marking a notable achievement in his legal career.

Anti-Trump Activism
In early 2017, Conway was considered for the position of solicitor general in the Trump administration, but the role went to Noel Francisco. Later, Conway was reported to be a nominee for assistant attorney general in the Civil Division. However, he withdrew, criticizing the administration as a 'shit show in a dumpster fire.'
Conway soon became a prominent anti-Trump voice. In late 2018, he co-wrote a New York Times op-ed questioning the legality of Trump's appointment of Matthew Whitaker as acting attorney general. Around the same time, he formed Checks and Balances, a group of conservative and libertarian lawyers speaking out against the Trump administration's wrongdoings.
In late 2019, Conway co-founded the Lincoln Project to oppose Trump's 2020 reelection and defeat Republicans loyal to Trump. The Lincoln Project endorsed Joe Biden and continued to campaign against Trump loyalists in 2023 and 2024. Conway's significant contribution included a $929,600 donation to the Biden Victory Fund.
Personal Life
In the late 1990s, Conway dated conservative media personality Laura Ingraham. He later married political consultant Kellyanne Fitzpatrick in 2001. The couple had four children and initially lived in Alpine, New Jersey, before moving to Washington, D.C. in 2017. They announced their divorce in 2023.
