Interesting Facts & Trivia

• 'Mobley': Sharon's middle name comes from her maternal grandmother Mary Mobley Johnson's middle name.
• James Madison University: Sharon is a JMU graduate, she graduated in Nursing. Her ex-husband Jim Acosta is also a JMU alumnus. They met and started dating each other while studying at the JMU.
• Registered Nurse: Soon after her graduation, Sharon started working as a Nurse. She works as a registered nurse in Maryland past her separation with Jim Acosta. She got her medical license on 14th September 2015. She renewed her license in 2018 and is currently working as a nurse in Maryland.
• Sharon attended medical secondary school in her hometown, she wanted to serve in the health sector even as a child.
• Networth: As a registered nurse, she is believed to be making about $70,000 per year through her salaries.
  • Jim Acosta, as a senior and popular journalist at CNN, is estimated by some news outlets to be making upwards of $400,000 per year in salaries (that's a huge claim, even after that incident with President Donald Trump). His total worth is estimated at $4 Million (this sounds more credible) at the time of divorce (in 2017). We don't know exactly what is the share she received in divorce settlements (or if she received any), she had given up her practice as a nurse until 2015 to take care of the family, we can assume that she has deservedly claimed a part of that big $4 million.
• A Very private person: Sharon seems to be a very private person, she does not have any social media presence. Jim Acosta has pictures of his children on his Instagram page, but no ex-wife pics. Sharon's pics are apparently erased from his account it seems. There is an interesting article that tries to verify all the available information on Sharon Mobley Stow. They couldn't verify much about Sharon, except her registration as Nurse (where she uses the name "Acosta"), her information wasn't available on her college yearbook as well. It appears she values her privacy much.

Confusing Huma Abedin for Sharon Mobley Stow

A Lot of websites, including many famous ones, have been posting pictures of Hillary Clinton's former aide Huma Abedin's picture with Jim Acosta as the picture of Jim Acosta and Sharon Stow. That is false information. Not many pictures of Sharon are available online (it needed a deep search to find the couple of pictures we have published on this website)

(This is how it is, a lie repeated remains true until someone brings in the evidence to the contrary)
