He beat his Democrat rival Terry McAuliffe to become the 74th Governor.

Virtually unknown a year ago, he pitched himself during the election campaign as a businessman and a political outsider.

Born on December 9, 1966, he was reared in Richmond and Virginia Beach and won a basketball scholarship at Rice University.

Here he earned an engineering degree before earning an MBA from Harvard University.

Youngkin then worked at the Carlyle Group for 25 years, a global private equity firm.

What is Glenn Youngkin’s net worth?

Forbes estimates his wealth to be about $440million.

This has helped him in his bid to become governor of Virginia as he has contributed $20million to his own campaign. 

This huge sum has paid for top-tier G.O.P. consultants plus many TV ads.

But Youngkin also benefited from boosted turnout in rural, Republican-leaning areas in central and western parts of Virginia, where he took a larger share of the vote than Ed Gillespie, the losing Republican candidate for governor in 2017.

When will he take office as Virginia Governor?

Youngkin is expected to be inaugurated as the 74th governor of Virginia on January 15, 2022.

He will succeed Governor Ralph Northam, a Democrat. Under Virginia state law, governors cannot serve consecutive terms.

Virginia’s race offered a possible preview of the 2022 elections. 

Culture wars dominated the campaign, with Youngkin promising to give parents more control over how public schools handle race, gender and Covid-19 rules.
