American TV star Andy Cohen is set to return as co-host of CNN's coverage of the Times Square ball drop in New York City this year, alongside his friend Anderson Cooper. The Bravo and Real Housewives executive has been co-hosting the New Year's celebration since 2017-18, even making headlines during the 2021-22 show for appearing slightly too tipsy on air.
His New Year's gig is just one of many projects he's involved in, and over his impressive career, Andy has accumulated an estimated net worth of $50 million. The 56 year old father of two climbed the entertainment industry ladder, starting as an intern at CBS News after graduating from Boston University.
Since then, he's been recognized as a powerhouse producer, earning two Peabody Awards and a Primetime Emmy for his work in television. His annual salary of $10 million mainly comes from his role as Executive Producer of the hugely successful Real Housewives franchises, as well as his hosting jobs.
Andy has been with the Bravo network for over twenty years, where he served as Executive Vice President of Original Programming and Development and completely transformed the network into what it is today. His production resume includes several massively successful shows like Project Runway, Top Chef, 48 Hours, and Queer Eye.
He has also been the host of the popular late-night show Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen since 2009.
While he's a well-known figure in the TV industry, the host of Housewives is also a best-selling author with four autobiographical memoirs under his belt, including The Andy Cohen Diaries: A Deep Look at a Shallow Year. The renowned producer also owns an impressive collection of real estate, including beachfront property in the Hamptons and an $18.3 million penthouse in New York City's West Village.
Throughout his career, producer and host Andy has built up a remarkable net worth, thanks to his love for pop culture and commitment to the entertainment industry.
