Alina Habba net worth: How much does Trump's attorney nominee for New Jersey earns
Alina Habba, a name now closely tied to Donald Trump's post-presidency legal defense, has rapidly risen to national prominence—and with it, her personal and professional profile has expanded significantly.
On Tuesday, President Trump officially nominated Habba to serve as U.S. Attorney for New Jersey for the next four years, a move that would remove her interim status and cement her position within one of the most powerful law enforcement offices in the country.
Habba's appointment is notable not just for her loyalty to Trump, but for the fact that she had no prosecutorial background prior to this year. Her legal experience lies primarily in civil litigation and corporate law, having managed a small private practice before entering Trump's inner circle.
She became a prominent face of Trump's legal team after joining him in 2021, defending him in high-stakes cases such as the E.
Jean Carroll defamation suit and New York Attorney General Letitia James' fraud case, both of which led to substantial financial penalties against the former president.
Born in Summit, New Jersey, Alina Habba is the daughter of Catholic Iraqi immigrants who fled religious persecution. A graduate of Kent Place School in 2002, she went on to earn a political science degree from Lehigh University before completing her law degree at Widener University Commonwealth Law School in 2010.

She also clerked for Judge Eugene J. Codey Jr. in Newark's Civil Division of the Superior Court and later became managing partner of Habba Madaio & Associates LLP in Bedminster.
Her visibility within Republican circles has only grown. At the 2024 Republican National Convention, she described herself as a 'devout Catholic, a proud first-generation Arab American woman, and a feisty Jersey girl.' Habba now holds the title of counsel to Trump's Save America PAC and has been appointed 'counsellor to the president,' indicating her influential role in Trump's legal and political strategies.
Net worth of Alina Habba
As her public stature has grown, so too has interest in her financial standing. As of 2024, Alina Habba's net worth is estimated to be between $1 million and $5 million, a figure that reflects her years in private legal practice, her high-profile representation of Donald Trump, and recent political appointments. That number could continue to rise, especially considering that attorneys in the United States earn an average annual salary of nearly $96,000, with those working in high-profile federal or corporate roles often commanding significantly higher compensation.
Further, Alina Habba is married to Gregg Reuben, a successful entrepreneur who also commands a substantial income. Reuben, a Harvard Business School graduate, is the CEO of Centerpark, a New York-based parking management company. With more than 25 years of experience in the industry, he has established himself as a leader

Pakistan's begging network spread to foreign countries, annual income of Pakistani beggars is $42000000000
New Delhi: Begging has become one of the most important professions in Pakistan. The total population of Pakistan is 23 crores, and out of this, about 4 crore of people are begging. That means every sixth person in Pakistan begs. Pakistanis are not only begging in their country but are also adopting this 'profession' abroad. The Pakistan government is finding it difficult to handle its global image due to beggars. What does the Dawn report say? According to Dawn's report, the population of Pakistan is 23 crores, out of which 3.8 crore are professional beggars. The national average income of a beggar is 850 Pakistani rupees per day. These beggars reportedly get 32 billion rupees in alms every day, which is 117 trillion rupees annually. The annual income of Pakistani beggars in US dollars is 42 billion dollars. How much do Pakistani beggars earn? The Dawn report says that 38 million people are earning $42 billion annually without doing anything. This is directly affecting the rest of the country's population and is the reason for the rise in inflation. A report by the Business and Society Center in Pakistan says that the trend of begging is increasing in the country because it is earning more than other unskilled labour. According to the Asian Human Rights Commission (AHRC), 2.5 to 11 percent of Pakistan's population is begging to earn a living. Express Tribune figures that about 12 lakh children roam the streets of the country's major urban centres. What are the complaints received from abroad? The Pakistan government has collected data of people traveling abroad to beg on the streets. These figures are being collected because 90 percent of the beggars caught abroad are of Pakistani origin. Iraqi and Saudi ambassadors have even complained about this to the Pakistan government. The Pakistan government has suspended passports of thousands of beggars who go to countries like Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Iran under the guise of religious pilgrimage and beg. In the last two and a half years, 44,000 beggars have been sent back to Pakistan from Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries.

The race for the Catholic vote in Kerala
On July 25, when the Chhattisgarh police arrested two nuns from Kerala on charges of forced conversion and trafficking, political parties in the southern State sprang into action. In a rare, united show of urgency, the LDF and the UDF dispatched separate delegations to Chhattisgarh. The BJP is in power in Chhattisgarh; yet its Kerala unit also sent a team, determined not to be outdone. All their efforts paid off as the nuns were finally granted bail by an NIA court. This wasn't the first time that Christian missionaries from Kerala faced legal trouble or vigilante hostility in north India. However, what set this case apart, and gave it sharp political resonance, was that the nuns were Catholic. Their detention triggered anger, coming as it did just months ahead of two elections: one to the local bodies and another to the Assembly. As Kerala's third largest demographic group after Hindus and Muslims, Christians, especially Catholics, have long wielded significant influence in the State — not just in education, healthcare, and charitable initiatives, but also in politics and policymaking. However, in the last few years, the community appeared to drift to the political margins. Attention turned inwards, with growing concerns over issues such as the massive wave of youth migration to the West. The Chhattisgarh episode thrust the Church back into the spotlight even as there remains ambiguity about its political alignment. Historically, the Catholic vote was regarded a pillar of support for the Congress-led UDF, especially in the central Travancore region. But that relationship began to weaken after the fall of the UDF government. The death of Kerala Congress patriarch K.M. Mani and of senior Congress leader Oommen Chandy further deepened the disconnect. The CPI(M)-led LDF was quick to seize the opportunity. By aligning with Kerala Congress (M), a splinter group with Catholic roots, it managed to break into the UDF stronghold in central Travancore. In the last Assembly elections, the LDF not only retained power, but also made significant inroads into Catholic-majority constituencies. The Church, however, did not remain silent. It challenged the LDF government on issues such as agrarian distress and wild animal attacks. Trying to reclaim lost ground, the Congress in May named Sunny Joseph, a Catholic leader with strong ties across the Catholic dioceses of central Travancore and Malabar, as head of the party in Kerala. As the Congress holds just three of the 21 seats in central Travancore, it is hoping that this appointment will lead to its political revival. Meanwhile, the BJP has been slowly cultivating the Catholic vote in Kerala. What began as an unspoken alignment on shared anxieties, such as 'love jihad' and 'narcotic jihad', gradually evolved into a strategic outreach effort. The party began inducting Christian leaders and building quiet channels with sections of the Church. In April 2023, Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited the Sacred Heart Cathedral Church in New Delhi and then met with top bishops in Kochi. However, the honeymoon was short-lived. The violence against churches in Manipur severely strained this fledgling alliance. The BJP then attempted course correction by echoing the Church's criticism of pro-Palestinian rhetoric from rival parties and by supporting the Kerala Catholic Bishops' Council's call for greater political engagement from Christians. The Waqf Board land controversy in Munambam also helped the party attract segments of the Catholic clergy and laity. Recognising the growing political stakes, the Church has begun to assert itself more in public affairs. Yet beneath this assertion lies an internal dissonance. While a few clergy members appear willing to engage with the BJP, a large section remains cautious, primarily due to the party's ties with Hindutva groups known for anti-Christian rhetoric. Just as Kerala's political class started to realise that Catholic votes are in play, the Chhattisgarh episode unfolded. For the Catholic Church, the arrests served as a wake-up call about how its clergy and members are perceived, especially in parts of north and central India. The next two election cycles could determine how the Church chooses to position itself politically. For now, every party is on high alert, knowing that this once-reliable bloc is no longer guaranteed, but is very much worth fighting for.

"Unjustified, Unreasonable" India Hits Back As Trump Threatens To Raise Tariffs Over Russian Oil
Donald Trump announced a sharp increase in tariffs on Indian goods, citing New Delhi's continued import of Russian oil. The US President accused India of 'buying massive amounts of Russian oil and selling it on the open market for big profits." Trump had earlier imposed 25% tariff on India and an unspecified penalty for buying Russian crude oil and military equipment. India responded strongly to Trump's latest 'tariff" threat, saying that targeting New Delhi is 'unjustified and unreasonable" and highlighted how the US continues to import uranium hexafluoride from Russia for its nuclear industry. n18oc_world n18oc_crux
