Wealth in Journalism
How rich is Megyn Kelly? As of early-2018, sources estimate a net worth that is at $15 million, mostly earned through a successful career in journalism. Currently she is reported to earn at least $6 million a year as a part of her contract with NBC. She has also been featured in several publications, and as she continues her career, it is expected that her wealth will also continue to increase.
Flourishing in a Career in News
Megyn attended Bethlehem Central High School after her family moved to Albany, New York State. After matriculating, she attended Syracuse University where she would complete a degree in political science in 1992. After graduating, she pursued a law degree from Albany Law School, and got her degree in 1995. Before finding work as a journalist, she worked as an associate of the law firm Bickel & Brewer LLP, and during her time there, she wrote an article called “The Conflicting Roles of Lawyer as Director”. She then worked for Jones Day, staying with the company for nine years.

In 2003, she moved to Washington DC, where she pursued a journalism career, initially working for WJLA-TV as a general assignment reporter, covering local and national events. She covered several high profile news events, including the 2004 presidential election, and the retirement of Justice Sandra Day O’Connor. After her run with WJLA, she applied for a job with Fox News in 2004 and was hired. She initially contributed legal segments as a part of “Special Report with Brit Hue”, in which she had her own segment entitled “Kelly’s Court’. She also had a segment with “The O’Reilly Factor” leading her to eventually have her own show entitled “America Live”.

She continued working for Fox over the next few years, and it would significantly increase her net worth. She covered the 2012 United States presidential election, then the following year left as the host of “America Live” when going on maternity leave. She later returned to host a new program entitled “The Kelly File”. In 2015, she did a high profile interview of Jim Bob Duggar and Michelle Duggar from “19 Kids and Counting”, after reports were released that their son allegedly molested five girls in 2002. During the same year, she was a part of the Republican Party presidential debate, in which she was criticized as being biased by then presidential candidate Donald Trump. In 2016, it was then announced that she would be hosting a one hour prime time special, in which she would do interviews with various celebrities. Later in the year, she confirmed allegations that she was subjected to harassment by Fox News CEO Roger Ailes, and then decided to actively pursue a career in another news network since her contract was nearing expiration.
In 2017, she accepted a contract with NBC News, which would include her own daytime program and a Sunday night news show, so she aired her last episode of “The Kelly File” and then started working with NBC. A few months later she premiered both “Sunday Night with Megyn Kelly’ and “Megyn Kelly Today”, significantly lifting her net worth.
