Glennon Doyle Net Worth 2026: Inside Untamed & We Can Do Hard Things Empire

Glennon Doyle — American author, queer activist, founder and president of Together Rising (the women-led nonprofit that has raised more than $40 million for women, families, and children in crisis), creator of the Momastery online community, co-host of We Can Do Hard Things with her sister Amanda Doyle and wife Abby Wambach (former US Women’s National soccer team captain and FIFA Player of the Year), and author of multiple New York Times bestsellers including the cultural phenomenon Untamed (2020, more than 3 million copies sold) — has built one of the most-followed personal-essay-and-memoir businesses of the modern era. Combining book royalties from her bestselling memoir catalog, podcast advertising and brand integration revenue from We Can Do Hard Things, speaking fees, and accumulated investments, Glennon Doyle’s net worth is estimated at $15 million to $30 million as of 2026.

Doyle’s case is one of the cleanest examples of a personal-essay author scaling into a true mainstream business through a single transformative book. Her pre-2020 work was successful in the women’s spirituality and Christian-adjacent personal-essay space, but Untamed in 2020 took her into mass-market cultural relevance in a way few memoirs of the past decade have matched.

How Glennon Doyle built her net worth

Doyle’s wealth is the product of a deliberate decade-and-a-half build that started from blogging in the Christian women’s space and reached escape velocity with the 2020 publication of Untamed. The arc has four phases.

Phase 1: Momastery and recovery (2009–2013)

Born in Burke, Virginia in October 1976, Doyle had a difficult young adulthood marked by bulimia, alcoholism, and other struggles. She has been openly transparent about her recovery journey through her writing. In 2009, she launched the Momastery blog — initially as a Christian women’s spirituality and motherhood community. The blog built a substantial audience through the early 2010s and became the foundation for her writing career.

Phase 2: First books and Oprah (2013–2017)

Her first book, Carry On, Warrior: Thoughts on Life Unarmed, was published by Scribner in April 2013 and became a New York Times bestseller. Love Warrior: A Memoir followed in September 2016 with Flatiron Books. Both books were Oprah’s Book Club selections — the Oprah endorsement being a meaningful audience-amplification driver during the pre-podcast era.

The 2016 publication of Love Warrior coincided with major personal upheaval: Doyle was promoting a memoir centered on the work of saving her marriage to her then-husband Craig Melton, while simultaneously falling in love with soccer star Abby Wambach (whom she married in 2017). The dissonance between the book’s content and the unfolding personal arc became a recurring narrative element.

Phase 3: Untamed and cultural breakout (2018–2021)

Untamed was published by Dial Press / Random House in March 2020. The book debuted at #1 on the New York Times bestseller list and remained on the list for more than 60 weeks. It was named one of the most-recommended books of the year by Reese’s Book Club, the New York Times, NPR, and dozens of other outlets.

Cumulative sales have exceeded 3 million copies worldwide across multiple languages, making it one of the highest-grossing memoirs of the past decade. The book’s commercial success generated substantial royalty income and dramatically expanded her speaking fees and brand opportunities.

Phase 4: We Can Do Hard Things and ongoing operations (2021–present)

In May 2021, Doyle launched We Can Do Hard Things — the podcast she co-hosts with her sister Amanda Doyle and wife Abby Wambach. The show became one of the top-charting podcasts in personal development and women’s culture and provided substantial additional advertising revenue.

Together Rising, the nonprofit Doyle founded in 2012 to support women, families, and children in crisis, has continued to grow. Cumulative fundraising has exceeded $40 million across various crisis-support campaigns. While the nonprofit is structured as a 501(c)(3) and provides no direct income to Doyle, it is a significant component of her public identity and brand.

Net worth estimate breakdown

Book royalties (largest single line)

3M+ copies of Untamed across multiple languages and formats, plus several hundred thousand copies of Love Warrior and Carry On, Warrior, plausibly produces $7M-$15M in cumulative lifetime royalties before agent commissions.

Podcast advertising

We Can Do Hard Things is consistently among the top women-focused podcasts. Annual podcast advertising revenue (split with co-hosts Amanda Doyle and Abby Wambach) plausibly $1M-$3M for Doyle’s share.

Speaking fees

Speaking fees at her tier of cultural visibility plausibly $50K-$150K per appearance. With substantial bookings annually, speaking revenue is plausibly $1M-$2M per year.

Other content licensing

Various derivative content licensing (audio, foreign rights, potential film/TV adaptations) plausibly contributes $500K-$1.5M cumulatively.

Real estate and personal assets

Doyle and Wambach are based in Naples, Florida. Florida has no state income tax, which is favorable for high-income earners. Real estate equity plausibly $2M-$5M.

Investments and savings

After roughly six years of meaningful book and podcast income, accumulated investments plausibly $3M-$8M.

Adding the buckets and applying realistic discounts for taxes, agent commissions, and ongoing personal donations to Together Rising and other charitable causes produces the $15M-$30M range.

Common misconceptions

“She’s worth $100 million from Untamed”

Some celebrity-net-worth aggregator sites quote Doyle at figures north of $50M. While Untamed was an exceptional commercial success, realistic estimates including all revenue lines and reasonable post-tax savings land in the $15M-$30M range. Memoir royalty economics, even at the highest level, are bounded by the publisher’s percentage and her own substantial lifestyle and charitable giving patterns.

“Together Rising made her rich”

Together Rising is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. The funds raised support women, families, and children in crisis and do not flow to Doyle as personal income. While she has been compensated as the organization’s president, the nonprofit is not a wealth-creation vehicle for her.

“She came from the Christian self-help world”

Doyle’s early Momastery audience was rooted in Christian women’s spirituality. Her writing has since evolved meaningfully and she now identifies more openly with her queerness and broader spiritual frame. The original Christian-adjacent audience was the launching pad rather than the endpoint.

“She’s just selling vulnerability content”

Critics sometimes characterize her work as performative emotional disclosure. The defense — and the case for the commercial scale — is that the writing has been consistently substantive across more than a decade, and the audience response (including from readers in genuinely difficult circumstances) is more than just superficial relatability.

Comparison to similar memoirists and women-focused creators

Creator	Estimated Net Worth	Profile
Glennon Doyle	$15M – $30M	Books (Untamed), podcast, speaking
Brené Brown	$25M – $50M	Books, courses, speaking, Spotify deal
Mel Robbins	$30M – $60M	Podcast, books, speaking, courses
Cheryl Strayed	$8M – $15M	Books (Wild), podcast, columns
Marie Forleo	$15M – $25M	B-School online program, books, podcast
Cathy Heller	$4M – $9M	Podcast, coaching, books

Doyle sits in the upper-middle tier of contemporary women-focused authors and creators. She is comparable to Marie Forleo on a personal-wealth basis, somewhat below Brené Brown and Mel Robbins (who have larger course and platform-deal businesses), and meaningfully ahead of Cheryl Strayed despite Strayed’s similar memoir-bestseller arc.
