onservative activist Charlie Kirk, 31, was fatally shot in the neck during a Utah campus event on September 10. He left behind wife Erika Frantzve (married 2021), a three‑year‑old daughter and a one‑year‑old son. Celebrity Net Worth estimated his assets at $12 million (≈$18 million AUD). Kirk had sold his six‑bedroom Scottsdale, Arizona, home for $5.25 million in July 2023; the property had been listed for $6.5 million in March 2024 and previously purchased for $4.75 million in June 2023. He founded Turning Point USA at 18, a nonprofit that promotes conservative ideas on campuses and quickly attracted major Republican donors, including the Trump family. By his early twenties, Kirk was a leading voice in the movement, known for speaking tours, social media influence, and fundraising. In his thirties, Turning Point had grown into a multimillion‑dollar organization with national reach, cementing Kirk’s status as a key Trump‑aligned figure among young conservatives. His sudden death shocked the conservative community, prompting tributes from prominent figures and a surge of online memorials.
