  • Robert F. Kennedy Jr. took home millions of dollars while running for president in 2023, primarily through his work with various law firms and his leadership at a vaccine-skeptic nonprofit organization.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., known for his anti-vaccine stance, has amassed a significant fortune, with his net worth estimated between $10 million to $15 million. His wealth primarily stems from his involvement in various legal battles, particularly those related to environmental issues, where he has represented clients like Native American tribes against corporate polluters. Kennedy has also benefited financially from his family's legacy, including inheritances and trusts. His philanthropy includes funding for anti-vaccine groups, with his Children’s Health Defense organization seeing a surge in donations, reaching $23.5 million in 2022. This financial support has been used to challenge vaccine mandates and spread misinformation about vaccine safety. Additionally, Kennedy has earned income from speaking engagements, book deals, and his role as a partner at Morgan & Morgan, a law firm. His financial activities and sources of income illustrate a complex web of legal work, family wealth, and controversial advocacy.
