Weiner's major source of income is his career as a writer, director, and producer in the television and film industry. He began his career in screenwriting with the Fox sitcom "Party Girl" (1996) and served as a writer and producer on "The Naked Truth." He entered the television industry by writing shows like "Becker," later creating "Mad Men" and "The Sopranos." After achieving success on both shows, he wrote, directed, and produced "Are You Here" (2013), published "Heather, the Totality" (2017), and created "The Romanoffs" (2018).

In 1991, Weiner married architect Linda Brettler. They had four sons together. However, in 2019, the couple filed for divorce.

Weiner has faced allegations of sexual harassment, with ex-Mad Men writer Kater Gordon accusing him of making an inappropriate comment, alleging he said she owed it to him "to see her naked." Weiner denies the accusation, claiming no recollection of making such a comment.
