Meet Sean Hannity, Donald Trump’s pal and Fox News legend: the longest-running prime-time cable news host in US history is a multimillionaire – and also a talk radio show host and bestselling author
- Hannity has an estimated net worth of US$250 million and earns US$25 million a year at Fox News – and has interviewed stars from Sylvester Stallone and Caitlyn Jenner to Sean Penn and Michael Moore
- Trump had his ‘truce’ interview with Hannity – a year after the TV host was scrutinised for ‘advising’ the Republican presidential candidate before, during and after the US Capitol insurrection
As the US elections edge nearer, Hannity is ensuring that he is on the forefront of big talking points, like the border between the US and Mexico, and law enforcement allegedly “targeting” Trump. While his relationship with Trump has come under scrutiny, it has also continued to bolster his ratings on Fox – most certainly contributing to future-proofing his career there.
Let’s get to know Hannity ahead of the elections.
