Maria Bartiromo sells NYC townhouse for $7 million following Fox News exit
Maria Bartiromo has sold her Upper East Side townhouse for $7 million, just over two months after Fox News Media ended its relationship with the presenter. The sale comes as she has yet to announce her next permanent role, though it does not establish whether she plans to leave New York.
Bartiromo and her husband, financier Jonathan Steinberg, bought the five-level home for $6.5 million in 2007. Fox announced her departure on 3 September, after she had been absent from its programmes since 9 August; she had hosted three shows, which were replaced or renamed. A report described the decision as a business one, and said she had reportedly earned about $6 million a year.
In short
- Maria Bartiromo sold her Upper East Side townhouse for $7 million.
- Fox News parted ways with her in September.
- She has not announced her next permanent role.
Explained simply
Maria Bartiromo is a US television journalist who became known for covering business and financial news. She later hosted three programmes on Fox News, part of the Fox Corporation media group, alongside her husband, financier Jonathan Steinberg.
The townhouse sale is a property transaction and does not by itself show whether the couple plan to leave New York. Bartiromo’s departure from Fox followed years in a prominent presenting role, and no permanent next role has been announced.
