Learn about Michael Flynn’s net worth
Michael Flynn, the former National Security Adviser, who was scheduled to be sentenced on December 18,2018, is not an incredibly wealthy man, in part because he spent so many years in government service.
However, he has proven ability to bring in income, once earning more than $800,000 a year through his consulting business.
It’s also a certainty that Flynn’s legal battles have depleted his family’s resources, however. The former military leader was convicted on accusations that he lied to federal investigators about his contacts with the Russian ambassador – as part of the sweeping Robert Mueller probe into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
Sites that calculate net worth for prominent people generally put Flynn’s net worth at less than $1 million. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Flynn is worth around $600,000.
Another site puts Flynn’s net worth at between $480,000 to $1 million, noting he also brought in money in consulting work and speaking fees.
Here’s what you need to know about Michael Flynn’s net worth and income sources:
Michael and Lori Flynn.
One reason that Flynn’s net worth is not higher: He has spent decades in the military and public service, serving as an United States Army Lieutenant General for decades and as the Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency before becoming the National Security Adviser.
At the University of Rhode Island, Flynn studied management science and joined ROTC. He was commissioned as an Army second lieutenant when he graduated from college in 1981, the university says. He also has an MBA and graduated from the U. S. Naval War College, CNN said.
Flynn also had a lucrative consulting business before his legal troubles.
His son, Michael, served as the chief of staff at Flynn Intel Group, according to his Facebook page; his father was CEO of the organization, which says it “provides elite intelligence services and solutions to industry and government worldwide.” Until the family became embroiled in legal controversies, Michael, the son, often posted statuses about his father’s media appearances, although he sometimes makes political commentary, writing: “Rule of Law officially deteriorating in this country after #ClintonEmails announcement….”
Michael and Lori Flynn
One sign that Flynn is somewhat strapped for cash: He sold a townhouse he owned to help pay for his mounting legal fees. According to Realtor.com, the home in Alexandra, Virginia went on the market for $850,000.
Flynn “married his high school sweetheart, Lori Andrade,” said the University of Rhode Island. The Flynns have been married for more than 30 years, and Lori’s Facebook page has been filled with pictures of her husband and grandchildren.
