What Is Mike Lindell's Net Worth?

In the '80s, Mike launched several small businesses in Minnesota, such as bars, restaurants, and a carpet cleaning business. In 2004, he invented the My Pillow pillow, and for the next few years, he sold the product at trade shows, mall kiosks, and state fairs. He established My Pillow, Inc. in 2009, and the company took off after its first infomercial in 2011. The 30-minute show cost $500,000 to produce, and it aired an average of 200 times per day. Lindell has said of the infomercial, "It became the number one infomercial in the world. In 40 days, we went from five employees to 500."

Mike Lindell was born Michael James Lindell on June 28, 1961, in Mankato, Minnesota. He grew up in Carver and Chaska, Minnesota, and he began gambling as a teenager. After graduating from high school, Mike enrolled at the University of Minnesota, but he dropped out a few months later.

In November 2022, Mike Lindell announced his running for Chair of the Republican National Committee. He lost on January 27, 2023, after receiving only four of the 167 votes cast. In November 2025, Mike filed paperwork to run for Minnesota governor.

As you likely know, today Mike is less known for My Pillow than he is known for being a vocal and controversial supporter ofDonald Trumpand peddler of false conspiracy theories. Lindell has been deeply involved in Trump's attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election, providing financial support and spreading false conspiracy theories. As a result, dozens of stores (including all six outlets mentioned in the previous paragraph) stopped carrying My Pillow products. Mike's most significant financial blow came in June of 2022, when My Pillow's biggest retail partner, Walmart, stopped carrying the company's products.

Between 2009 and 2016, My Pillow and Mike were incredible stories of recovery and success. His commercials were ubiquitous on television, especially on Fox News. At his peak, circa 2016-2017, Mike Lindell's net worth was $200 – $300 million. Before Mike became an entrenched conspiracy theorist and subject to a $1.3 billion defamation charge, his company generated well over $100 million per year in gross revenue. The products were best-sellers at stores such as Walmart, Bed Bath & Beyond, Kohl's, HEB Stores, Wayfair, and the Canadian Shopping Channel. Based on similar comparable company valuations, My Pillow was worth around $500 million in 2017.

Mike was, at one time, an example of a very inspirational story of recovery and American entrepreneurship. A college dropout, Mike launched My Pillow in 2005. In 2008, he was so badly addicted to crack cocaine that he once stayed awake for 19 days straight, by his own account. He had one final party on January 16, 2009, and then quit everything – booze, cocaine, and crack.

Mike Lindell is an American entrepreneur, business executive, and author who has a net worth of $0. At his financial peak, Mike Lindell's net worth easily topped $100 million and may have been as high as $200-300 million. Prior to his election controversies, Mike's company, My Pillow, grossed $110 million per year. Mike has claimed that in 2023, his company is on pace to gross just $5 million, a 95% drop. Much of that drop occurred after his products were dropped from stores like Walmart and Bed Bath & Beyond. Further adding to his problems, Mike's legal expenses and the costs of attempting to prove the 2020 election was rigged have apparently wiped away the vast majority of Mike's former fortune. In various interviews in 2022 and 2023, Mike claimed to have spent $25 – $50 million of his personal money trying to prove the 2020 election was stolen from Donald Trump. He also claimed to be spending $1 million per month at one point, trying to launch and maintain his social media app, Frank Social. In October 2023, Mike's attorneys in a defamation case filed a claim that he owes millions in unpaid legal fees, and therefore, they requested to drop him as a client. In response, Mike claimed to be "out of money"and that he had"lost everything. Every dime. All of it is gone."

Lindell became addicted to cocaine in his twenties, and in the '90s, he began using crack. His drug abuse and gambling debts led to his first wife ending their marriage, as well as the foreclosure of his home. Mike's drug addiction became so severe that his crack dealers held an intervention in 2008. According to Lindell, "They were three of the biggest dealers in the cities. They said I had been awake for 19 days straight. They refused to sell to me again. One of them tried babysitting me until I fell asleep." Mike has said that prayer helped him get sober in 2009.

Ultimately, Mike Lindell's financial journey is a testament to their success.
