Meghan Markle’s new $103M business venture is backed by Amy Schumer, Connie Britton and more celebs

Meghan Markle is putting her money where her mouth is.

The Duchess of Sussex has invested in a women’s health start-up called Midi Health, Fortune reported Tuesday.

Markle’s stake in the company, which gives a virtual platform to those 35 and over experiencing menopause-related symptoms, follows the lead of celebrities including Amy Schumer and Connie Britton, who previously participated in a $63 million funding round that brought its total to $103 million.

The “Suits” alum told the business magazine that women “don’t need to be afraid to talk about finance.”

“Women need to see that they can build,” she said. “… And I think the more financial literacy we have, the stronger we’re going to be.”

Fortune referred to Markle, 43, as an “angel investor,” a term typically used to describe an individual with a high net worth investing in exchange for a stake in the company.

Her rep did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

Midi Health revealed in September 2024 that more than 80 people had invested in its clinic, with investments ranging from $10,000 to more than $500,000.

The business described the group as “high-powered … women leaders and icons spanning entertainment, professional sports, media, beauty and fashion, health and wellness, technology and business.”

The statement noted that the investors “includes women aged 35 to 60+ and 40 percent people of color.”

Other notable names include designer Tory Burch and former Vice President Kamala Harris’ niece Maya Harris.

Markle’s contribution is not the first time she has invested in a female-led business.

The former actress invested in coffee brand Clevr and haircare brand Highbrow Hippie in 2020 and 2024, respectively.

Last week, Markle debuted her “Confessions of a Female Founder” podcast to discuss how her “female entrepreneurs and friends … turn[ed]  small ideas into billion-dollar businesses.”

The venture is one of many recent launches for the royal, from her “With Love, Meghan” Netflix series premiering in March and her As Ever lifestyle brand dropping its first drop of products the following month.

Markle shrugged off critics hating on her for working so much since she and husband Prince Harry quit their royal duties and moved to the United States in 2020.

“I need to work, and I love to work,” she told the New York Times earlier this month.

Markle pointed out that she has had a job from the age of 13 until meeting Harry, 40, in 2016.
