Stephen Miller has an estimated net worth of $1–2 million, reflecting his career as a government official and political operative rather than a wealth-generating entrepreneur or entertainer. Miller is currently serving as White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and Homeland Security Advisor in the second Trump administration — the most senior domestic policy role he has held. His wealth derives primarily from government salaries, his work leading America First Legal, and investment holdings.
Updated March 2026: According to Reuters (March 2026), Stephen Miller is the primary architect of the Trump administration’s aggressive second-term immigration crackdown, driving policy on deportations, visa restrictions, and border enforcement. He sold his Arlington, Virginia home in October 2025 and relocated his family to military housing in Washington, D.C., amid ongoing protests at his residence.
Stephen N. Miller was born on August 23, 1985, in Santa Monica, California, to a Jewish-American family. He attended Santa Monica High School, where he was politically active as a conservative student and wrote op-eds for the school paper. He enrolled at Duke University in North Carolina, earning a Bachelor of Arts in political science in 2007. At Duke, he was a vocal conservative voice and was a regular contributor to conservative media outlets as a student. He interned for then-Representative Gary Miller (no relation) before moving to Washington to work in politics.
After graduating from Duke, Miller worked as a press secretary and communications director for Republican members of Congress, including Representative Michele Bachmann and Senator Jeff Sessions. His work with Sessions, who chaired the Senate Judiciary Committee, gave Miller deep expertise in immigration policy — a subject that would define his career. He was one of the primary drafters of the 2013 Gang of Eight immigration reform bill’s conservative opposition strategy.
Miller joined Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign as a senior policy advisor and chief speechwriter, crafting many of Trump’s signature speeches including his inaugural address. In Trump’s first term, he served as Senior Advisor to the President and was identified by reporting from multiple outlets including Reuters as the primary architect of the family separation policy, the travel ban targeting predominantly Muslim countries, and broad reductions in legal immigration levels.
Between Trump’s two terms, Miller founded America First Legal (AFL), a conservative public interest law firm modeled on liberal legal organizations, in 2021. AFL raised $44 million in 2022 alone, per Bloomberg. During this period, Miller received compensation from AFL of up to $527,000 annually, per financial disclosures. In Trump’s second term, he was appointed White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy, earning a government salary of approximately $195,200 annually per federal pay scales reported by Business Insider.
Stephen Miller is married to Katie Miller (née Waldman), whom he married in 2020. Katie Miller previously served as press secretary to Vice President Mike Pence and as a spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security. The couple has three children — Mackenzie, Jackson, and Hudson — and is expecting their fourth child in 2026, per People. The family sold their $3.75 million Arlington, Virginia home in October 2025 and moved to military housing in Washington, D.C. Miller’s immigration views have generated significant controversy throughout his career, including criticism from within the Republican Party, most recently from Senator Thom Tillis in March 2026.
