Recently resigned U.S. Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle disclosed sizable mortgage and boat loans among her personal liabilities, but no credit card debt entering 2026, according to an unpublished federal ethics document obtained by The Washington Sun from the State Department.
Guilfoyle resigned her ambassadorship on Oct. 13 amid accusations of financial misconduct, which she denies, and pressure from President Donald Trump and the White House.
The Wall Street Journal reported Guilfoyle asked Republican donor Eric Deters to spot her $100,000 to cover an American Express credit card bill before her Senate confirmation in September 2025. In exchange for the money, Guilfoyle promised access to senior officials in the administration, the Journal reported. She is also accused of improperly accepting gifts.
Guilfoyle denied taking part in a “pay-to-play” scheme, writing on X: “These allegations are false, and I intend to vigorously defend my name, my reputation, and my integrity.”

The ethics document indicates Guilfoyle has a boat loan from 2024 valued at between $100,001 and $250,000 and a 5-year-old mortgage valued at between $1 million and $5 million.
Guilfoyle did not list credit card debt on either her new financial disclosure, which she originally filed in May and remains under review at the State Department, or a financial disclosure she submitted last year prior to her confirmation.
Guilfoyle did list an “exercised line of credit” worth between $250,001 and $500,000 from RBC Wealth Management on her older financial disclosure that did not appear on the new disclosure.
Guilfoyle could not be reached for comment Friday. The U.S. Embassy in Greece referred questions to the State Department, which along with the Office of Government Ethics did not respond to The Sun’s request for comment.
Guilfoyle’s latest financial disclosure lists significant personal assets, including a podcast company and consulting businesses.
Her podcast company reportedly earned $1.5 million during 2025, while a consulting business generated about $250,000.
She valued ownership stakes in two other companies — Polished Rice Inc. and Metropolitan Medspa LLC — at between $1 million and $5 million each, although she reported no income from them last year.
Government officials are only required to disclose assets and debts in broad ranges, making it difficult to determine Guilfoyle’s exact personal net worth.
In compliance with the ethics agreement she signed in May 2025, before her confirmation, Guilfoyle sold dozens of individual stock holdings and appeared to reinvest the money into exchange-traded, mutual and index funds. She also reported that during her ambassadorial service, most of her businesses would be inactive or involve her only as a passive owner.
In December 2024, Trump indicated he would nominate Guilfoyle — his son Donald Trump Jr.’s former fiancée — for an ambassadorship, and he officially nominated her in early 2025.
But following her confirmation, her tenure lasted little more than a year.
“We’re not happy,” CNN reported Trump telling reporters the day before Guilfoyle’s departure.
Deters filed a defamation lawsuit against Guilfoyle last week. In a statement to CNN, Guilfoyle’s lawyers said Deters owed Guilfoyle money for speeches and consulting work.
