In a sea of familiar Fox & Friends faces, Steve Doocy's was once one of the most beloved — however, after a few recent segments in which he challenged some of his co-hosts views on political and social issues, like Joe Biden's handling of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, for example, many of his loyal viewers and colleagues have started to turn against him.

In fact, president-elect Donald Trump is one of them. In 2019, it was reported that Trump had rated Doocy as a "12 out of 10" on a scale of loyalty. However, he has since attacked him, calling him a "terrible" anchor and accusing him of hurting the show.

Despite this, Steve has had an incredibly successful run on the network, and it definitely shows through his financial status. So, what's his net worth looking like in 2024?
