Complete biography: https://networthpost.com/tucker-carlson-net-worth/ Tucker Swanson McNear Carlson was born on 16 May 1969, in San Francisco, California USA, and is known for being a political correspondent and personality on television, as well as a journalist. He’s hosted various shows on CNN, MSNBC and Fox News, which have all contributed to his current net worth. So just how rich is Tucker Carlson, as of early 2017? Celebrity dot money tells us that his net worth is estimated at over eight million dollars, most of which is attributed to his journalistic, news and political endeavors. A book and a political news website have also helped in this regard. Carlson started his journalism career after graduating in 1992 from Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut with a BA in history. He became a member of the editorial staff for the national conservative journal entitled Policy Review, and later found opportunities working as a reporter for the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette and The Weekly Standard. Tucker’s increase in net worth was noticeable after he was hired by CNN, and co-hosted the show “Crossfire”, basically representing the political right. He was also given another opportunity at PBS, hosting the show entitled “Tucker Carlson: Unfiltered”. One of the most significant episodes of “Crossfire” was a heated debate between Tucker Carlson and Jon Stewart in 2004, which spurred many rumors, and was even remarked on as one of the reasons the show was cancelled. This was all denied by Tucker however, stating that the strain in the relationship between him and CNN was already in place even before the debate. He soon found work with MSNBC with a show called “Tucker”. Around this time he also did a wrap-up of the 2006 Winter Olympics for the network, and then went to Lebanon to cover the Lebanon War. “Tucker” was eventually cancelled due to low ratings, but he would then find work in 2009 with Fox News, being a contributor for both news and political shows, such as “Red Eye with Greg Gutfeld”, “Special Report with Bret Baier”, and also as a co-host for “Fox and Friends”, so his net worth continued to grow. Tucker is also a co-creator and editor-in-chief for the political news website called The Daily Caller; numerous journalists and personalities from different news stations and networks contribute to the site, the aim of which to bring different perspectives and breaking stories not necessarily tied to an ideology, according to Carlson. He was also a participant in the fall of 2006 edition of “Dancing with the Stars” - he mentioned in an interview that he treated the competition seriously, and even took ballroom dancing lessons consistently to learn. He was eventually voted off the competition in the September 13th episode. Tucker also authored an autobiography in 2003, entitled “Politicians, Partisans and Parasites: My Adventures in Cable News”, which details the unusual experiences in his job, as well as humor concerning political figures. Even with all the popularity and controversy, Tucker retains a somewhat private personal life. He has been married to childhood sweetheart Susan Andrews since 1991and they have four children. They renovated a farmhouse in Alexandria where they currently reside.
