As of 2024, Julie Banderas’s net worth is estimated to be $1.1 million. However, various media outlets like Freshers Live, and Zacjohnson, claim it to be around $12 million, and we are highly suspicious regarding the information.
As per ZipRecruiter, the top earners journalist earns around $79,445 with an hourly wage of $38, similarly, the 75th Percentile of the news reporter earns around $47,400, and the average journalist earns around $43,538 with an hourly wage of $21 and similarly the 25th percentile, $38,000 with an hourly wage of $18.
Since Banderas has been in the industry for a long period, precisely 19 years, she started her career in March 2005, where her salary is estimated to be of the beginner salary of 25th percentile which is $38,000. However, she was shortly promoted to anchor on the Fox Report Weekend so we’ll take an average salary of $43,538 for the 5 years at least, which gives us her total earnings over her first two years at $217,690.
Similarly, out of the remaining 14 years we’ll divide it by two and take her later 7 years’ salary in the category of the 75th percentile which gives us an income of approximately $331,800, and the remaining 7 years to date, we’ll calculate the highest paying rate of $79,445 from the highest earner gives us an estimation of salary of around $556,115. So summing up all her income from her salary, her approximate income from salary is estimated to be around $1.1 Million.
However, we have not added any money she got from her husband after her divorce for child support and alimony as there is no news and data related to it. Hence, we came up with the assumption regarding her net worth calculating solely her net worth from her career as a Television journalist.
