Eric Bolling Wiki: Early Life, Family, and Education
The only son of Marie Hildegarde (nee Catino) and John Gustav Bolling, Eric had two sisters, but one of them died of cancer. His mother also succumbed to the terrible disease; his other sister is a minister.
Bolling acquired his high school diploma from the Loyola Academy, and following matriculation he enrolled at Rollins College, graduating with a BA degree in economics in 1984; furthermore, he received a fellowship to Duke University’s School of Public Policy.

Thankfully to his diploma in economics, he was able to get a job with the New York Mercantile Exchange, specializing in the trading segment of crude oil, gold and agricultural commodities. During his career as a trader, his net worth rose tremendously, as he worked with great success. Eventually, he became a strategic advisor, after being on the Board of Directors for five years.
His career resulted in numerous prestigious awards and achievements; he was named in the top 100 traders by the Trader Monthly in 2005 and 2006, and received the “Maybach Man of the Year” Award in 2007.

Rise to Prominence
All of these successful endeavors and achievements earned him a chance to launch a career on television. He received an offer to work for the CBS which he accepted, and as he became more popular, earned a chance to host his own show on CBS entitled “Fast Money”; however, he left CBS for the Fox News in 2008, as it gave him more freedom and exposure. Firstly, he was a host of the business show “Happy Hour”, but as his experience with Fox News grew, he was more involved in the program. In 2011 he became a co-host of the talk show “The Five”, along with colleagues Kimberly Guilfoyle, Dana Perino, Greg Gutfeld and Juan Williams. Furthermore, Bolling was a host of the Fox Business Channel news program “Cashin in”, succeeding Cheryl Casone in that position; this promotion also benefited his net worth. While he was working for Fox, Eric contributed to other shows such as “The O`Reilly Factor”, “Hannity” and also “The Glenn Beck Show”. His stint on Fox came to an end in May 2017.
