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?
What is Steve Doocy's net worth? He earns a hefty Fox salary.
Steve Doocy first got his start in news reporting as a features reporter for NBC's local station in Washington, D.C.
After that, in 1994, he became a morning show host for the network on Wake Up America, and in the following years, he became known as ABC TV's go-to Times Square correspondent for Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve.
He ultimately joined the larger Fox Network family in 1996 and Fox & Friends in 1998, which is where he has been ever since. Per Fox, within three years of his tenure, he helped the show become "the number one morning program in cable news," a title that it has held for the past 20-plus years.
