George Stephanopoulos — $6.5 Million, Manhattan

Every year, George Stephanopoulos pockets a generous $15 million by working as a television journalist and political commentator. Now aged 59, he serves as ABC News’ chief anchor, co-anchors Good Morning America, and delivers This Week. Stephanopoulos works hard, and it pays off pretty well.

One of his most significant buys back in 2010 was this $6.5 million residence in New York City’s Upper East Side. Buying a 5,652-square-foot dwelling in such a classy neighborhood would be a dream to many average folks. Stephanopoulos has his two daughters and his wife, Ali Wentworth, to share it with.

Diane Sawyer – $4.6 million, New York City

Looking at these photos, we can’t help but wonder why Diane Sawyer gave up such a vivid getaway place that looks like it’s lost in the wilderness. The cottage sure looks like it’s in the middle of nowhere, but you’d be surprised to know that it’s just 25 minutes away from Manhattan.

The 74-year-old television journalist has slowed down when it comes to work and is currently only producing documentaries and interview specials for ABC News. Seeing that Sawyer is worth $80 million, she can spend the rest of her life in extreme comfort with what she has. The sale of this 2,708 square-foot dwelling earned her $4.6 million.

Brit Hume – $1.35 Million, Virginia

The journalist and political commentator Brit Hume has held some prominent positions at a few of the biggest networks like ABC News and the Fox News Channel. During the best years of his career, the 77-year-old made as much as $5 million every year.

Because of his huge salary, Hume got to purchase this beautiful country home in Northern Fauquier, Virginia. Many years ago, he listed this place in the market, although it only sold in 2018 for $1.35 million. The price is shocking, considering its location and land area, which is 72 acres big.

Bill O’Reilly – $3 million, New York

With skills and experience comes big lumps of cash, and here, we have Bill O’Reilly proving it right. The veteran television journalist has been in the industry since the ’70s, which explains how he banked a whopping $25 million annually in his prime.

Now aged 71, O’Reilly hasn’t had the best few years as of late, having dealt with multiple indecent assault accusations. He was let go by Fox News, after which he started a podcast named No Spin News. Well, at least he’s got plenty of money and luxuries like his $3 million Manhasset, New York house to make him feel better.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck – $4.56 Million, Greenwich

From The View on ABC to Fox & Friends on the Fox News Channel, Elisabeth Hasselbeck was quite the frequent host on the television screens until 2015. She was only in her late thirties when she decided to retire to spend more time with her husband and children.

Hasselbeck had earned a decent fortune of $16 million when she retired, which, at the time, also included her $4.56-million Colonial-style mansion. It was 7,605 square feet and had seven bedrooms and 7.5 bathrooms. As reported by Variety, the family went from Connecticut to Nashville, Tennessee, post-sale.

Barry Williams – $5.82 Million, Malibu

The American actor Barry Williams is best known for playing the eldest Brady kid, Greg Brady, on ABC’s The Brady Bunch. Now, Williams is already 65 years old. He has had a very extensive acting career, mainly on television, from which he’s earned $6 million.

Presumably, one of the most prized possessions that Williams owned has got to be his Malibu beach house, which was sold at $5.82 million in 2019. It’s a shame that it belongs to someone else now because it was built by Williams’ mother way back in the ’70s.

Don Lemon — $3.1 Million, Sag Harbor

When one makes as much as $4 million every year, affording things that catch their eyes is not a challenge. It was the case for Don Lemon in 2016 when he dropped less than one year’s income on a four-story mansion in Sag Harbour, Long Island.

The 54-year-old Lemon receives such hefty paychecks from CNN, where he currently presents CNN Tonight and serves as a news correspondent. His four-bedroom, five-bathroom house, where he resides with his fiancé Tim Malone, cost $3.1 million. They’ve also got a pool and a 0.28-acre piece of land, making the outdoors fun.

Having been in broadcast journalism since the ’90s, Ingraham has now secured a fortune of approximately $40 million.

Ingraham was born and raised in Glastonbury, Connecticut. However, she currently calls McLean, Virginia, home, where she lives in a 7,869-square-foot mansion valued at a whopping $3.3 million, as per Velvet Ropes. Her three adopted kids are super lucky to live in such a spacious place!

Trish Regan – $5.625 Million, New York

It seems like Trish Regan’s show, Trish Regan Primetime, is in the past now as she left the Fox Business Network in 2020 to become a host on NewsMax. Hopefully, she gets paid an annual sum of $8 million or more, as she did at Fox.

At 47, Regan is worth $30 million. At one point, her fortune included a stunning piece of real estate situated in Manhattan, New York. It was an apartment house in the city’s finest, Fifth Avenue, which required at least $6K in common charges and maintenance costs every month. According to Variety, Regan received $5.625 million for the 2,500 square-foot space in 2015.

Cynthia McFadden – $5.995 million, Manhattan

After multiple decades of anchoring and hosting with ABC News, Cynthia McFadden went ahead and joined NBC News, where she currently serves as a senior legal and investigative correspondent. Some might refer to it as spicing things up in the career.

Among the riches that she’s gathered over the years is her townhouse in Manhattan, which she listed for sale with a price tag just shy of $6 million. With 3,500 square feet of living space, the residence holds four bedrooms and features hardwood floors, a back garden, and a library. It’s quite a bargain, won’t you agree?

Bob Beckel – Price Undisclosed, Brookmont

Back in the ’70s, Bob Beckel started working for the government as part of the United States Department of State. He subsequently entered the field of politics, before joining Fox News in 2011. If you do the math, you can tell that his career on television hasn’t been a very long one.

In fact, Beckel is no longer involved with any network but instead focuses on his podcast, Beckel’s Bob Cast, since 2018. Pictured above is the 71-year-old’s home in Brookmont. Although it doesn’t accommodate any little kids, it sees the extra mile for its Christmas decorations

Jesse Watters – Price Undisclosed, Long Island

In America’s broadcast journalism industry, Jesse Watters is a name that wouldn’t go unnoticed. He was lucky enough to get a job at Fox News right after graduating college, and he’s never looked back since. Having been with the network for so long, Watters currently banks $2 million every year, atop of his $5 million fortune.

As of 2017, he has been hosting his very own show, Watters’ World, while also co-hosting The Five. Given his wealth, we assume he’s got several residences here. However, it’s unclear where he resides permanently. Nevertheless, Watters owns this beautiful piece of architecture on Long Island, New York.

Minnie Driver – $2.5 Million, Hollywood Hills

Minnie Driver actually swapped a big, Spanish-style Hollywood Hills house for a smaller, 1940s era Ranch-style house, just so that she can have a bigger garden. The actress and musician who most recently starred in the ABC sitcom Speechless has also released three studio albums.

Driver’s $2.5-million Hollywood Hills home has a lived-in, cozy feel with unique décor resembling her spontaneous personality. The 2,768-square-foot house has three bedrooms and three bathrooms with a swimming pool forming part of the lush garden.

It’s such a spacious space that’s way above New York standards. The interior is modern, and the furniture looks comfy. In 2015, she was ready for a change, so she listed her apartment with an $862K price tag. In 2020, Dreyer welcomed her second child with her husband, Brian Fichera, who has sadly caught the coronavirus.

Kate Bolduan – Price Undisclosed, Washington DC.

At only 37 years old, Kate Bolduan already has a long list of work experiences under her belt. Since 2015, she’s been hosting At This Hour with Kate Bolduan and even anchored the State of America with Kate Bolduan until the latter ended in September of 2019.

But looking at the salary and net worth figures of other television presenters, Bolduan remains on the lower side, holding only $2.5 million. Nevertheless, she is up there with the rest when it comes to residences. We say so because Bolduan owns a decent five-bedroom house in Washington, DC.

David Gregory – $2.475 million, Wesley Heights

The 50-year-old television journalist David Gregory had been with NBC network for many years. However, as of 2016, he has served as a political analyst for CNN. Gregory is also thriving in his personal life, having been married to a Washington, DC lawyer named Beth Wilkinson for two decades.

He never gave a proper tour of the place, so how the inside of the home looks is a mystery. What we know is that it’s about 5,595 square feet and it has five bedrooms. He doesn’t live here anymore, for he sold the estate for $1.755 million in 2002. Since 2004, he has been hosting a podcast called Blunt Force Truth.

Since Barker is worth $70 million, we’re not surprised that he lives in a 5,000 square-foot deluxe house in Los Angeles. It’s a Spanish Colonial Revival style house, which was originally built in 1929. With four bedrooms, the house is considered a historic landmark in the Hollywood neighborhood.

Lauren Conrad – $5.2 Million, California

The fashionista let go of the two terraced, five-bathroom, five-bedroom for $4.99 million.
