Carly Fiorina Net Worth - The voting public seem so curious about Carly Fiorina, who is a former Hewlett-Packard CEO. After announcing that she's gearing up for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination, her fortune is currently under scrutiny.

Carly Fiorina has an estimated net worth between of $30 and $120 million. For six years, she held the top spot at Hewlett-Packard as the company's CEO. According to Forbes, she also masterminded one of the largest tech mergers in history, which was the multibillion purchase of Compaq Computers.

Despite being forced to resign in 2005 over the controversial decision in acquiring Compaq in 2002, where she subsequently laid off 15,000 Hewlett-Packard employees, Carly Fiorina exited with a severance package worth $21.4 million, The New York Times revealed. But during a recent interview, she confirmed that she was fired by the company.

"Absolutely I was fired," Fiorina recently said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe."

For three decades, Carly Fiorina has been married to Frank Fiorina. International Business Times noted that Frank was a former tow truck driver turned AT&T executive.

Meanwhile, Carly Fiorina's net worth is often estimated to be between $30 and $120 million, a figure derived from FEC records from her failed Senate run. In 2008, she served as an economic adviser on John McCain's presidential campaign. And in 2010, Fiorina unsuccessfully challenged Barbara Boxer for one of California's U.S. senate seats.

Since her presidential bid announcement on Monday, Carly Fiorina's net worth, experience and background still remain highly questionable to some. And since she isn't very popular nationwide, she started her official campaign for the Republican nomination with a different trajectory, which begins from scratch. As per CNN, she also generally landed at 2% support in the latest CNN/ORC poll.

Carly Fiorina is famous for being the former CEO and chairman of the board of Hewitt-Packard, who has a net worth of $80 million as listed by Celebrity Net Worth. She accumulated her fortune through her positions held in many successful companies. Unfortunately, she was forced to leave her position as CEO and chairman of HP due to "differences about how to execute HP's strategy."

With her net worth value and experience, is Carly Fiorina fit to become the next US president?
