What is Kelly Evans’ net worth?

Currently working as the co-anchor of CNBC’s business news program Power Lunch, Evans was with CNBC’s London headquarters for a year before she moved to its headquarters in New Jersey. Before now, Kelly was one of the few celebrities you wouldn’t find anywhere on social media. She deactivated her Facebook and Instagram accounts and sometime in 2016, she announced the deactivation of her Twitter account as well.

According to Kelly, deactivating her Twitter account severed an eight-year relationship that had become a big part of her professional and personal life. She further noted that it’s not cool for social media to enlarge one’s impersonal connections while bringing apart the closer, trickier, and more personal ones.

The CNBC anchor, however, rejoined twitter in 2019 and a closer look at her posts shows that she is strictly keeping it professional and not sharing any personal details. This move has only deepened people’s quest to know more about her, especially her love life.

Born on July 17, 1985, in Hartford, Connecticut, Kelly is a George Washington Honor Scholar and a graduate of Washington and Lee University where she earned a bachelor’s degree in business journalism. It is known that she served as the co-captain of Women’s Lacrosse team and was a four-time scholar-athlete during her college days. Before that, she earned eight letters in the same sports during her high school. Before Kelly Evans joined CNBC, she worked at the Wall Street Journal where she covered several topics on real estate and economics. Records of her deeds show that she hosted the daily News Hub program on WSJ.com and, was a frequent guest on television and radio networks. She joined the Journal in 2007.

After that, She worked as a reporter for the Global Economics Bureau and was a moderator for a 2012 Republican Primary debate. She also moderated the James Carville v. Ann Coulter’s debate. These made her a popular name in the field of journalism.

Kelly Evans joined CNBC in February 2012 as an on-air correspondent, reporting across CNBC’s Business Day programming. Before she became the co-anchor of Closing Bell, she co-anchored the networks’ Squawk on the Street and Worldwide Exchange based in London.

Kelly had previously had a one-on-one talk with iconic investor Stanley Druckenmiller on the stock market, tax reform, and his stock picks.

In December 2018, Kelly Evans began to anchor CNBC’s 60-minute program Power Lunch, running between 2 pm and 3 pm ET. She swapped her anchor role with Sara Eisen with the latter moving to Closing Bell. In addition to covering the real-time market, Power Lunch takes a close look at people, businesses, and trends that influence Wall Street.

Here’s How Much She Makes in Salaries and Career Earnings

As common with most celebrities, Kelly Evans’ fans have always wanted to know the value of everything she owns. This has stirred several estimations of Kelly Evans’ financial status. Unfortunately, most of the estimates can’t be substantiated as they are all guesswork. This is also true with her salary. It is common to find that Kelly Evans’ salary is around $1 million which is quite huge and enough to shoulder a luxurious lifestyle for a journalist her level.

Evans, who is often compared to Erin Burnett, a former CNBC host, currently has a net worth of $3 million. When Kelly was 27 and reporting for CNBC’s Squawk Box, she was named in Forbes’ 30 under 30 media list.

Kelly Evans Is Married to a Sports Reporter

The CNBC anchor is ten inches taller than five feet and has always been described with such words as “charming” and “attractive”. For this and other reasons, her fans have always been interested in knowing about her love life. Nonetheless, the journalist has consistently strived to keep things private. Speculations were being made about who she’s dating when it emerged that she’s getting married.

While it is not clear who the pretty journalist has dated in the past as she prefers to keep such information close to her heart, Kelly is a married woman. She married Eric Chemi, a CNBC sports reporter on April 22, 2017. Despite being a notable figure in her field, Kelly preferred to keep her wedding ceremony a top-secret from her audience. A few days before her wedding, her CNBC colleague and co-anchor of the show Closing Bell made a shocking but exciting announcement of Kelly’s marriage to Eric Chemi. The announcement was then followed with a bouquet she received from her CNBC colleagues.

Kelly is not only enjoying a blissful married life with her husband Chemi; she is also blessed with kids. She had her first child, a son on July 5, 2018, and in September 2019, she was rumored to be pregnant again with her second child.
