Net worth & personal profile
Al GoreNet Worth
The old $300 million figure, Current TV sale, documented Apple shares, Generation Investment Management, four children and relationship status — updated without pretending a 2013 estimate is current.
Al Gore’s current net worth is not publicly verifiable. Forbes estimated more than $300 million in January 2013 after the Current TV sale, but that historical snapshot cannot establish what he owns in 2026.

The essentials
The previous $300 million headline traced to a 2013 Forbes estimate and is no longer presented as a current balance sheet. [2]
Apple’s 2024 proxy listed 468,995 beneficially owned shares before Gore retired from the board; it does not show whether he still owns them. [3]
Gore currently chairs Climate Reality and Generation Investment Management and co-founded Climate TRACE. [1]
Career · Love & family · Money · The evidence
Al Gore’s public career is well documented, but his current personal balance sheet is not. The former headline repeated a 2013 estimate as if it were current, even though his Apple holdings, private-firm economics, taxes, spending and later investments are not fully disclosed.
This profile therefore leaves the main net-worth field empty. The historical $300 million-plus Forbes estimate remains useful as a dated snapshot after the Current TV sale, not as a 2026 fact. Forbes — Al Gore after the Current TV sale · Net Worth VIP — methodology
01 / The breakthrough
Vice presidency became a climate platform
Gore served in the U.S. House and Senate before becoming the 45th vice president from 1993 to 2001. After the contested 2000 presidential election, his public work shifted toward climate communication, investing and nonprofit advocacy. Al Gore — official biography
An Inconvenient Truth won two Academy Awards, and Gore shared the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize with the IPCC. Those honors explain influence and speaking demand, but they do not disclose his fees or assets. Al Gore — official biography
02 / Love & family
Tipper Gore, four children and an outdated partner trail
Al and Tipper Gore married in 1970 and announced their separation in 2010. The archived White House family biography names their four children: Karenna, Kristin, Sarah and Albert III. Clinton White House archive — Gore family
Gore publicly acknowledged Elizabeth Keadle as his partner in 2012, including in a book acknowledgment discussed on his own site. Reliable recent material reviewed for this update does not confirm whether that relationship remains current. The profile therefore does not turn a decade-old report into a 2026 partner claim.

03 / The money
Current TV and the difference between a sale and net worth
Forbes reported that Al Jazeera bought Current TV for about $500 million in 2013 and estimated Gore’s 20% stake at a $100 million pretax value. A company sale price and a seller’s pretax share are not the same as cash retained after tax. Forbes — Al Gore after the Current TV sale
That transaction helped Forbes estimate Gore at more than $300 million at the time. Thirteen years later, the number is too old for a current headline because neither the later portfolio nor liabilities are public.
The evidence, with its limits
| Source / measure | Public figure | What it establishes |
|---|---|---|
| Forbes — Al Gore after the Current TV sale | $300m+ in 2013 | Historical Forbes estimate after the Current TV transaction; withdrawn as a current headline. |
| Forbes — Al Gore after the Current TV sale | About $500 million | Reported company sale price for Current TV. |
| Forbes — Al Gore after the Current TV sale | 20% / $100m pretax | Reported stake and implied pretax transaction value attributed to Gore. |
| Apple 2024 proxy statement | 468,995 Apple shares | Beneficial ownership disclosed as of January 2, 2024; no claim that he still owns them. |
| Apple — Al Gore retires from the board | 2003–2024 | Official period of service on Apple’s board. |
04 / The current portfolio
Climate work and private-company uncertainty
Gore’s official biography currently identifies him as founder and chairman of The Climate Reality Project, founding partner and chairman of Generation Investment Management, and co-founder of Climate TRACE. Al Gore — official biography · Generation Investment Management — firm · Climate TRACE — coalition
Assets managed by Generation belong to clients and funds, not personally to Gore. Likewise, Climate Reality and Climate TRACE are mission organizations, not disclosed personal-wealth accounts. Without ownership economics, distributions and liabilities, they cannot support a current exact total.

Common questions
Questions, answered
What is Al Gore’s net worth in 2026?
No current defensible figure is publicly available. Forbes estimated more than $300 million in 2013, but that historical figure does not establish his 2026 finances.
How much did Al Gore make from Current TV?
Forbes reported a roughly 20% stake and a $100 million pretax transaction value from the reported $500 million company sale. After-tax proceeds were not established.
Does Al Gore still own Apple stock?
Apple’s 2024 proxy listed 468,995 beneficially owned shares as of January 2, 2024. He retired from the board that year, and this profile does not assume he still holds the same number.
Who is Al Gore’s current partner?
He has been separated from Tipper Gore since 2010. Elizabeth Keadle was publicly described as his partner in 2012, but recent reliable confirmation of a current relationship was not found.
How many children does Al Gore have?
He and Tipper Gore have four children: Karenna, Kristin, Sarah and Albert III.
