What Is Huma Abedin’s Net Worth?
Huma Abedin is an American political staffer who has a net worth of $6 million. She is a longtime close aide to Hillary Clinton. She was born on July 28, 1975, in Kalamazoo, Michigan, as Huma Mahmood Abedin.
Her mother was Pakistani, while her father grew up in India.
“My mother gave me good genes,” Abedin said in 2022. “She’s 80 with hardly any wrinkles.”
Her father (Syed Zainul Abedin) started an institute devoted to religious understanding.
Her parents met at the University of Pennsylvania. Her father passed away from progressive renal failure when Huma was 17.
Abedin was raised in Saudi Arabia and the US. “Growing up in the Middle East, it was a culture shock,” Huma told The Guardian.
She returned to the U.S. at 18 to study at George Washington University.
Starts To Work At The White House
In 1996, she joined the Clinton White House as an intern. “When I walked into the White House in 1996,” Abedin told Associated Press, “I was prepared to outwork anybody.”

“I remember like it was yesterday when I was a 21-year-old intern walking into the White House residence that feeling, those goosebumps walking on that red carpet, there’s just something for somebody who was an American abroad most of her life and carried that sense of identity, being an American with tremendous pride,” Huma remembered in 2021 in an interview with MSNBC. “I felt like I was doing important work every day.”
Abedin was an aide to HRC during her 2000 run for US Senate.
Starting in January 2009, she worked as deputy chief of staff for Secretary Clinton.
In 2016, she served as Vice Chair of Hillary for America.

In November 2021, Abedin penned her memoir, “Both/And: A Life in Many Worlds,” just under 500 pages long. “Writing this book gave me the opportunity to reflect on my own life,” she said.
The book captures her two decades of public service as HRC’s senior adviser.
Her admiration and respect for Clinton are clear throughout the memoir.
“She really cares about people,” Huma said about Clinton. “She’s always been there for me, and I’m always going to be there for her.”
Husband
On July 10, 2010, Huma Abedin married Anthony Weiner, the former congressman who resigned in 2011 after a sexting scandal. “It was one of the hardest things I had to endure,” Abedin said.

In 2013, he got 5% of the Democratic primary vote in the New York City mayoral race.
The two started dating in 2007 and were engaged in 2009.
During the wedding, Clinton delivered a toast in which she referred to Huma as her second daughter. Also, it was HRC who first encouraged Huma to go out with Weiner.
The late Oscar de la Renta designed her wedding dress.
The two share a son, Jordan Zain Weiner (b. in December 2011).
In August 2016, Abedin and Weiner announced their separation. She filed for divorce in 2017.
“We’re good,” she said in 2021. “He is my co-parent.”
Boyfriend
In 2022, Huma started dating actor Bradley Cooper.
Reportedly, Anna Wintour was the one who “played matchmaker.”
Cooper was previously in a relationship with Irina Shayk.
