Early Life
Candace Amber Owens was born on April 29, 1989, in White Plains, New York, and grew up in Stamford, Connecticut, where she attended Stamford High School. She studied journalism at the University of Rhode Island but left before completing her degree.
Before entering political commentary, Owens worked in marketing — she became CEO of the marketing agency Degree180 in 2015 — and interned at Vogue magazine.
Media Career
Rise to Prominence
Owens first gained national attention in 2017 with pro-Trump commentary on social media, including her widely shared YouTube video "Mom, Dad… I'm a Conservative." That same year she became communications director at Turning Point USA, a role she held until 2019. In 2018 she co-founded BLEXIT, a movement encouraging Black and Latino voters to leave the Democratic Party.
The Daily Wire (2021–2024)
In 2021, Owens joined The Daily Wire, where she hosted a self-titled talk show, Candace, which ranked among the platform's top podcasts. She departed the company in March 2024 following months of public tension with co-founder Ben Shapiro over her comments about Israel and Jewish people, which Shapiro publicly criticized.
Independent Show
After leaving The Daily Wire, Owens launched an independent media operation centered on her YouTube channel (@RealCandaceOwens), which grew to more than 5 million subscribers, along with a subscription platform, candaceowens.com, and continued speaking engagements. Her independent podcast became one of the most-watched commentary shows online.
Books
Owens is the author of two books: Blackout: How Black America Can Make Its Second Escape from the Democrat Plantation (2020) and Make Him a Sandwich: Why Real Women Don't Need Fake Feminism (2025).
Husband and Family
Owens met George Thomas Stahel Farmer, a British entrepreneur and the son of Lord Michael Farmer, in December 2018 at the launch event for Turning Point UK. Their courtship was famously swift — Farmer proposed via FaceTime about 18 days after they first met — and they married in August 2019 at the Trump Winery in Charlottesville, Virginia. Guests included Larry Elder and Charlie Kirk.
Farmer is the former chairman of Turning Point UK and served as CEO of Parler and its parent company Parlement Technologies from May 2021 to April 2023.
The couple has four children: a son born in January 2021 (whose name they have kept private), a daughter Louise Marie born in July 2022, a son Max born in late 2023, and a son born in May 2025. In June 2026, Owens announced she is expecting her fifth child.
The family moved to Nashville, Tennessee, in 2021. In April 2024, Owens converted to Catholicism, her husband's faith.
Net Worth
Owens' net worth is estimated between $5 million and $12 million, depending on the outlet. Her income comes from podcast sponsorships, her subscription platform, book royalties, and speaking engagements. One analysis estimated her annual net income at $3–6 million after expenses. An outlier figure of $40 million appears on low-authority sites and is not credible. No confirmed figure exists.
