Network ratings plummeted more than 30% for the major cable news networks in 2021, but being a cable news network host is still a lucrative job.

Looking at the 25 most-watched cable news shows from 2021, the average net worth of the hosts is a jaw-dropping $25,386,364, while the median net worth is a still impressive $10,500,000. Admittedly, the average is offset by the net worth of the No. 1 host on the list, but it’s still quite impressive.
