Monica Lewinsky has turned things around since her career began with an infamous scandal.
The author and activist recently made headlines with a cheeky tweet calling back to her former White House days. She posted the Taylor Swift lyric, “You wouldn’t last an hour in the asylum where they raised me” with a photo of the White House, and fans deemed her “iconic.”
She’s most known for her time as an intern under President Bill Clinton. The two had an affair, which was the catalyst for his impeachment.
Monica, 50, was blasted into the mainstream, becoming a household name and featuring vast amounts of hate from the media. She has since pivoted her career to anti-bullying activism and public speaking, earning a significant net worth.

Monica has an estimated net worth of $1.5 million, according to Celebrity Net Worths. After graduating with a degree in psychology from Lewis & Clark College in Portland, she started working as an intern in the White House from 1995 to 1997.
After the scandal, she received an immense amount of online bullying. She even claimed she was likely “the first person to have their reputation completely destroyed worldwide via the Internet,” because of the time period.
In 1999, she was interviewed by Barbara Walters, and the program received over 70 million viewers, which is the second most-watched interview in television history.
Shortly after, she appeared on Saturday Night Live and started doing commercials for weight loss company Jenny Craig. She hosted a reality show Mr. Personality in 2003.
She moved to London in 2005, and remained out of the public eye until 2014. She then began writing for publications like Vanity Fair, Forbes, and more about the effects of bullying.
In 2015, she gave a TED Talk on the matter and became an ambassador for the Bystander Revolution, an anti-bullying organization.
Her latest project was serving as a producer on the third season of American Crime Story from Ryan Murphy, which focused on the impeachment. It was released in 2021.
