What is Rudy Giuliani's net worth in 2023? Here's a look into his assets amid defamation trial.

Rudy Giuliani followed his time in public service with a lucrative career in the private sector that turned him into a multimillionaire. But the former New York mayor now faces legal damages of $148 million in a defamation case filed by two Georgia election workers.

A jury of eight Washington, D.C., residents ruled Giuliani must pay $148 million to the election workers, Ruby Freeman and her daughter, Wandrea "Shaye" Moss. Their attorneys had asked the jurors to award $24 million each in damages. Giuliani was earlier found liable for several defamation claims against them.

The jury on Friday said the former mayor must pay $16.2 million to Freeman and $17 million to Freeman, as well as $20 million to each for emotional distress and an additional $75 million in punitive damages.

In arguments before the jury entered deliberations on Thursday, Giuliani's attorney had said that paying the requested $48 million "will be the end" of him financially.

The case pits two election workers against a man who was once dubbed "America's mayor" for his role leading New York after 9/11. In the years following the terrorist attack, he scored lucrative speaking gigs and a $3 million book contract, while also leading a high-priced lobbying firm.
