Abigail Disney Philanthropy and Criticism of Wealth: Abigail has been, somewhat ironically, an outspoken critic of of massive wealth. She has gone so far as to say private jets should be banned. Her family actually owns a private jet, a Boeing 737, but she has declined to use it because she feels uncomfortable with the environmental impact. She claims to have given away $70 million of her own personal wealth since turning 21.
In July 2019, after much speculation and estimation, Abigail declared in an interview that her personal net worth was $120 million. She pointed out that she could have been worth as much as $500 million had she not given away so much money and if she was a more aggressive investor.
