Biography
Greta Thunberg net worth is estimated at approximately $1 million, modest for one of the most globally recognized figures of her generation. She began her school strikes for climate in August 2018, which sparked the international Fridays for Future movement involving millions of students. Her book No One Is Too Small to Make a Difference (2019) became a bestseller, and she reportedly donates the majority of her book royalties to climate causes. The Greta Thunberg Foundation manages donations transparently, with Thunberg personally accepting minimal financial benefit. Time named her Person of the Year in 2019.
