Today, Monica Lewinsky has decided to reframe the narrative around her life story by launching a new podcast called “Reclaiming.” Lewinsky released the first episode on February 18, 2024, and it’s over an hour long. In it, she spills the tea on her journey from a White House intern facing judgment to a Hollywood producer and a staunch anti-bullying advocate.
In the podcast, she spoke about the traumatizing experience in 1998, saying, “I lost my anonymity, I lost my future, I lost my sense of self, I think I lost trusting myself in many ways. I fell in love with D.C. and the White House and the job and the environment and then, very unfortunately, I fell in love with my boss who was married and also the most powerful man in the world,” she said. “What followed was an inappropriate relationship that lasted for two years.”
As Lewinsky gets older, she continues to see her younger years in a different context, especially after the #MeToo era, which sheds light on power imbalances in the workplace.
Now, we’ll do a deeper dive into Monica’s personal life, career, financial journey, and how the past has led her to where she is today.
What is Monica Lewinsky’s net worth?
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Monica Lewinsky’s net worth is approximately $1.5 million.
Is Monica Lewinsky married with kids?
Lewinsky is not married and has never been married. She also doesn’t have kids. When she spoke with PEOPLE in 2021, she commented, “I do date. I’m not married yet. I don’t know if that will happen or not, and I’m more OK with that than I used to be.” She did have another high-profile relationship before the Clinton scandal. She was 19 years old, and it was with a former drama teacher.
She had her share of financial struggles
Despite having a high net worth, Lewinsky struggled financially due to the huge legal bills she was forced to pay off, and she admitted this to Larry King in 2000, addressing claims that she was trying to capitalize on her fame.
