She’s the outspoken author and public speaker who’s built something of a cult following over the years.
So after all her graft, what is Fran Lebowitz’s net worth?
Fran Lebowitz Net Worth
Celebrity Net Worth estimates that Fran Lebowitz’s net worth is about $4 million.
Despite famously declaring she’s never owned a mobile phone or computer, she’s managed to do pretty well for herself!
She has two books under her belt so far, and is the subject of two documentaries.
While she’s maintained she’s had “writers block” for decades now, her main source of wealth has actually come from sharing her opinions in public speaking.

She’s toured as a public speaker for many years, and has made cameos in Law & Order and The Wolf of Wall Street.
Career
While Fran Lebowitz is now super successful, it hasn’t been the easiest of journeys.
Before her writing (and opinions!) made her famous, she had an eclectic career in a fair few professions.
The author worked as a cleaning lady, a pornographer and a taxi driver to try and support herself.
But things began to change when she started working for a tiny journal called Changes when she was 21 years old.
This opened the door for Fran to assert herself in the writing industry, and she soon set her sights on Andy Warhol’s acclaimed magazine Interview.

While she managed to land the job of a movie reviewer at Interview with ease, Fran made it clear that she never got on well with Andy Warhol.
“He didn’t like me. I didn’t like him….
There were lots of kids around [at the magazine] mostly because of Andy. I’m not the fan type. I think that probably annoyed him, I’m guessing”.
She soon started to become a bit of a celebrity in New York, which helped her build a platform for her books; Metropolitan Life, and Social Studies.
In an ironic move for someone so anti-technology, Fran has now landed herself a Netflix show with acclaimed director Martin Scorsese.
It’s the second time the pair have collaborated together, and explored Fran’s love (and intense dislikes) of New York City.
Love Life
Fran has always stayed uncharacteristically quiet when it comes to her love life- but she’s been much more vocal about her sexuality.
She realised she was a lesbian from a young age, and has never dated a man in her life.
The writer seems to have found solace in her native New York, and she was quick to realise how much the city had an impact on the LGBT community.
“One of the reasons people our age came to New York if you were gay was because you were gay. Now you can be gay anywhere.
But we came here because you couldn’t live in those places, and so that created a kind of density of angry homosexuals, which is always good for a city”.

Despite spending years dating glamourous women, Fran Lebowitz isn’t a big fan of relationships.
Her longest lasted three years, but her ex-partner’s identity is unknown. There’s been plenty of rumours about who she is though…
After being pictured with a blonde on numerous occasions, there was growing speculation that the author had actually been dating Dolly Parton. It’s something that Fran seems to find pretty amusing.
Apart from this mystery three-year relationship, the writer seems to have lost what little enthusiasm she had for a long-term partner.
“I could not possibly be in a relationship now for more than six days. When I was younger, I might have said six months, although I think the longest relationship I was ever in was three years. But what I can’t be is monogamous.
I’m a great relative. I believe I’m a great friend, but I’m a horrible girlfriend”.
