What is Candace Owens' net worth in 2025? Fortune explored as Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron sue her for alleged defamation

Candace Owens has found herself in the middle of a defamation lawsuit filed by the President of France, Emmanuel Macron, and his wife, Brigitte Macron, on July 23. The decision followed Owens’s repeated allegation that Brigitte had a male birth identity and was named Jean-Michel Trogneux.

According to Owens, Emmanuel was placed in power by a secret CIA plot. Additionally, she claims the French president and his wife are related by blood.

As per the lawsuit, Owens has been promoting:

"outlandish, defamatory, and far-fetched fictions."

A statement made by Macron's lawyer, reported by BBC, says:

"Ms Owens' campaign of defamation was plainly designed to harass and cause pain to us and our families and to garner attention and notoriety. We gave her every opportunity to back away from these claims, but she refused."

Another statement in the filing, reported by Reuters, says:

"Owens has dissected their appearance, their marriage, their friends, their family, and their personal history — twisting it all into a grotesque narrative designed to inflame and degrade"

As of 2025, Candace Owens has a net worth of $5 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. The American political commentator and author has also written a book titled "Blackout: How Black America Can Make Its Second Escape from the Democrat Plantation."

Candace Owens replies to the lawsuit through social media

After the lawsuit was filed against Candace Owens on July 23, Owens, who was surprised about the lawsuit, called it 'goofy' in her podcast named Candace. Candace Owens' spokesperson further added:

"This is a foreign government attacking the First Amendment rights of an American independent journalist."

Her reaction followed a series of tweets and Instagram stories. In one of the X (formerly Twitter) posts, she wrote, referring to a book titled Becoming Brigitte, written by Xavier Poussard:

"For those who haven’t seen the 'Becoming Brigitte' series, start here. It will take just one episode for you to realize the truth. It truly is a must-watch series. The Macrons aren’t suing journalists halfway around the world because we lied."

Soon after, she posted one more tweet that read:

"Oh, and Macron was 14 when he was in the high school play that made Brigitte gravitate toward him. No undoing that fact."

In another tweet, she wrote:

"Not a single person can watch that series and come out with any other conclusion."

The Palais de l'Élysée, residence of the French President, has not issued a statement on the allegation.
