Charles Kushner, founder of Kushner Companies, a real estate company in New York, was convicted of preparing false tax returns, retaliating against a cooperating witness, and making false statements to the Federal Election Commission in 2005.

He admitted to hiring a prostitute to seduce his brother-in-law and having the sexual encounter videotaped. He then mailed the tape to his sister in an effort to intimidate her against becoming a witness in the federal investigation.

Charles Kushner served more than 16 months of a two-year sentence in federal prison and a halfway program before he was released in 2006, according to NorthJersey.com, a USA TODAY Network newspaper. Donald Trump pardoned Charles Kushner in 2020.

In October 2024, Forbes estimated that Kushner Companies was worth $2.9 billion and the Kushner family's net worth was $7.1 billion.

For years, Charles Kushner lived in New Jersey. In addition to Jared Kushner, he has three other children, including daughters Nicole Kushner and Dara Kushner and his younger son, Joshua Kushner, who is married to supermodel Karlie Kloss.
