LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: ‘Good Morning America’ star George Stephanopoulos has enjoyed a diverse career in both journalism and politics. Before making the switch to news, the 62-year-old worked on Bill Clinton's presidential campaign in 1992 and later became the White House communications director when Clinton won the election. However, he found the work at the White House to be extremely draining and transitioned to journalism, hoping to turn things around for himself.
Fortunately, George was well-received in the journalistic sector and in 2009 became the co-host of ‘Good Morning America.’ This helped George’s net worth to spike significantly with the host now reportedly making $15 million per year by offering his services to the morning show. He’s only behind co-host Robin Roberts who pockets $18 million a year and his net worth only falls behind Roberts and Michael Strahan on the show.
What is George Stephanopoulos’ net worth?
The ‘GMA’ host and political commentator started his career in politics and made his name as the White House Press Secretary for Clinton. George then worked through the 90s and early 00s as a broadcast journalist and even managed to interview former President Barack Obama in 2008. Taking all his endeavors into consideration, George has garnered a net worth close to $40 million to date as per CelebrityNetWorth. But his net worth isn’t only a product of his job as a journalist but also his diverse career in politics and investments in real estate.
In 2008, George sold a property in East Hampton for $2.5 million, and in 2010, he and his wife, Ali Wentworth, purchased another property in East Hampton with a $3.5 million price tag and 4,500 square feet of living space, as per the source. That year, the couple reportedly also bought up a pricey apartment on the Upper West Side of Manhattan for $6.5 million. And again in 2013, he purchased a property in the town of Southampton, New York for $4.5 million. He and his wife quickly sought to flip the 4,800-square-foot property for a profit, but it wasn't easy. All of his investments have forced George’s net worth to skyrocket over the years and the continued association with ABC is only bound to make him more dough than before.
George Stephanopoulos’ new money-making venture
George and his wife Ali have also established a production company named BedBy8 Productions to further dig their claws into the arena of entertainment. Only recently, a documentary produced by their company on the life of Brooker Shields called ‘Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields’ received critical acclaim and was nominated for an Emmy award. BedBy8 Productions is a smart attempt by George to further increase his valuation and rake in more money. Once the venture kickstarts with a few more projects, George’s net worth is expected to go up by a few more million.
