Meet Shauna Nep – ‘top earner’ at Meghan and Harry’s Archewell charity: the ‘philanthropic adviser’ also works at Scooter Braun’s company, and heads Hailey Bieber’s Rhode Futures Foundation
The Archewell Foundation’s 2023 tax return shows that its top earner was Shauna Nep, who earned US$300,000 for her work with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry last year – so who is she?
The impressive figure was released when the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s not-for-profit organisation revealed its tax return for 2023. Archewell also released its impact report, where co-executive directors Nep and James Holt stated that “our purpose is simple yet impactful: to show up, do good”. It was revealed in the tax report that Nep earned more than Holt.
“In a world that often feels fractured, there are moments that cut through the noise, reminding us of our strength when we stand together: resilience, courage, and a commitment to something greater than ourselves,” Holt and Nep said in their joint statement. “This year, at The Archewell Foundation, we’ve witnessed the transformative power of human connection – of people reaching across divides to uplift one another.”
Nep joined The Archewell Foundation as a full-time member of staff in 2022. Here’s what we know about her – and her other celebrity links:

She’s a former child actress
