But even as his fame has increased, his net worth seems to have dropped. According to Celebrity Net Worth, his estimated net worth as of December 2025 appears to be $0, which is down significantly from the estimated height which was around $200-$300 million. This is due in no small part to a massive defamation lawsuit (via AP News).

Mike Lindell could be cooking up a run for the Governor of Minnesota.

As one would expect from someone whose career is dream-adjacent, MyPillow's Lindell has some big plans for the future. In fact, he's reportedly considering a run for Governor of Minnesota.

He could find himself up against the once wildly popular incumbent, Governor Tim Walz.

Despite Walz's former popularity, Lindell said on his show The Mike Lindell Show, which airs, unsurprisingly, on Lindell TV, "I live here in Minnesota. Everywhere I go, nobody wants Tim Walz."

According to Newsweek, Lindell is nowhere close to making a formal announcement for plans to run yet, and it's not entirely clear whether he will choose to do so. However, he explained that he was doing "due diligence" as he scoped out the landscape and considered his future plans. Lindell then promised "bigger announcements" to come.

He said of his early plans, "Right now we have a voice that could be big enough, where when I do my due diligence—and we're gonna do polling. We're gonna get a couple of different polls to be taken. We're gonna be doing all kinds of due diligence. I'm just checking into all this now" (via Newsweek).

If Walz ran again, which he is eligible to do, he would have an uphill battle. By the end of 2025, his approval rating sat at just 53 percent, putting him just above the bottom half of governors across the United States (via Morning Consult).

Whether this will prompt Lindell to throw his hat into the ring or not remains to be seen. And if Walz has an uphill battle, Lindell's may be a mountain.
