Who is Greta Van Susteren?

Greta Conway Van Susteren was born on 11 June 1954, in Appleton, Wisconsin USA, of Dutch and Irish descent, and is a commentator as well as a former television news anchor, perhaps best known for her work with Fox News in the show “On the Record w/ Greta Van Susteren”.

The Wealth of Greta Van Susteren

How rich is Greta Van Susteren? As of mid-2018, sources estimate a net worth that is at $35 million, mostly earned through success on television, as she’s also worked for CNN, NBC News, and MSNBC. As she continues her endeavors, it is expected that her wealth will also continue to increase.

Early Life and Education

Greta’s parents were very close to several political names, particularly the infamous US Senator Joseph McCarthy, who even attended their wedding. Greta’s siblings would also later pursue careers in either politics or journalism. She attended Xavier High School in Appleton, and after matriculating in 1972 enrolled the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and completed a degree in geography and economics. She furthered her studies by attending the Georgetown University Law Center, from which she earned a Juris Doctorate in 1979.

Greta worked as a civil and criminal attorney based in Wisconsin for several years, before returning to Georgetown University Law Center as an adjunct faculty member, while also working full-time on her legal career, which probably later on contributed to her being awarded a doctor of laws degree from Stetson Law School. Her popularity as an attorney grew thanks to her expertise and success, and she became a regular legal analyst for CNN during the coverage of the OJ Simpson murder trial, which would eventually lead her to more work on television.
