Sean Hannity leads a ranking of current and former Fox News personalities by estimated net worth, with Dan Bongino and Bret Baier taking the next two positions.
The figures, attributed to Just Jared in a report by The Express, place Hannity at $250 million and Brian Kilmeade at $12 million, the lowest estimate among the ten people included.
The ranking compares estimated personal wealth, not annual salaries, and includes several personalities who have already left Fox News.
The list brings together broadcasters whose careers have included television, radio, publishing and other business interests. It does not establish how much of each person’s fortune came from their work at the network.
Hannity and Bongino lead the estimates
Hannity occupies first place with an estimated net worth of $250 million. He joined Fox News in October 1996, beginning a relationship with the network that has lasted three decades.
His broadcasting work also includes the nationally syndicated The Sean Hannity Show and the podcast Hang Out with Sean Hannity. His interviews span politics, commentary, culture and sports.
Bongino follows with an estimated $150 million. A former Fox News host, he presented Unfiltered until 2023, leaving after he and the network failed to agree on a contract extension.
He subsequently served as FBI deputy director under Kash Patel before leaving that position in January 2026.
Hannity and Bongino are the only two personalities in this particular ranking whose estimated fortunes exceed $100 million.
Baier takes third, followed by Ingraham and Carlson
Bret Baier ranks third at an estimated $70 million. His Fox News work includes Special Report with Bret Baier and historical programming examining subjects such as socialism, the Vietnam War and the attempted assassination of Ronald Reagan.
Laura Ingraham follows in fourth place with an estimated $40 million. She began working with Fox News as a contributor in 2007 and later became the host of The Ingraham Angle.
Tucker Carlson takes fifth place with an estimated $30 million. He hosted Tucker Carlson Tonight from 2016 until his departure from the network in April 2023.
Their positions illustrate how the ranking combines established network hosts with former personalities rather than measuring the wealth of Fox News’ current lineup alone.
Gutfeld and Cavuto sit in the middle of the list
Greg Gutfeld’s estimated $28 million places him sixth. His television roles include hosting the late-night talk and comedy program Gutfeld! and appearing on the roundtable show The Five.
Neil Cavuto ranks seventh with an estimated $25 million. Before leaving Fox News in 2024, his programs included Your World with Neil Cavuto, Cavuto Live and Cavuto: Coast to Coast.
Cavuto declined a contract extension that would have kept him at the network as an anchor and managing editor of business news.
Hemmer and Pirro share eighth place
Bill Hemmer and Jeanine Pirro are tied at an estimated $14 million each.
Hemmer co-anchors America’s Newsroom with Dana Perino. He also hosts Hemmer Time, a podcast covering technology and current events.
Pirro’s television career included Justice with Judge Jeanine, which ran from 2011 to 2022, and a co-hosting role on The Five. Before those programs, she presented a daytime courtroom series.
She stepped away from television in May 2025 to become interim U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia following an appointment by President Donald Trump.
Their matching figures reflect estimated net worth; they do not indicate that Hemmer and Pirro received the same salary.
Kilmeade completes the top ten
Brian Kilmeade takes tenth place with an estimated $12 million. He began working at Fox News in 1997 and became a co-anchor of Fox & Friends.
His other programs include The Brian Kilmeade Show and One Nation with Brian Kilmeade. He has also written books about sports and American history, including Uniting the States: Six Crucial Moments That Forged the American Miracle.
Although Kilmeade has the lowest estimate in the published selection, that does not make him the network’s lowest-paid host or establish that he has the smallest fortune among all Fox News personalities.
The figures offer a comparison of ten selected broadcasters’ estimated wealth, with Hannity at the top and Kilmeade completing the list.

10. Brian Kilmeade – $12 million
