🚨 MARIA BARTIROMO’S $70 MILLION FOX PAY FINALLY REVEALED — The Lawsuit Bombshell!

Maria Bartiromo’s reported $70 million Fox News compensation has become a major talking point after details emerged from documents connected to Smartmatic’s $2.7 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox News. According to documents reported by TheWrap, Bartiromo acknowledged during a deposition that she would have stood to receive more than $70 million in compensation from the time she began working at Fox through an upcoming contract in 2025. The revelation does NOT mean she received a $70 million annual salary or a $70 million payout from the lawsuit. Rather, the figure represents compensation accumulated or expected over her years with Fox. Bartiromo joined Fox in 2014 after spending about two decades at CNBC and became one of Fox Business and Fox News’ most recognizable anchors. Her programs included “Mornings with Maria” and “Sunday Morning Futures,” while her political interviews—particularly with Donald Trump—made her a prominent figure in the network’s election coverage. The compensation revelation emerged from Smartmatic’s lawsuit against Fox Corporation, Fox News Network and several Fox personalities, including Maria Bartiromo. Smartmatic alleges that Fox News and its personalities promoted false claims about the company and the 2020 U.S. presidential election. Fox News has denied the allegations and has continued to defend its position in the litigation. The lawsuit has produced extensive discovery material, offering a rare look at Fox News’ internal communications, on-air coverage and relationships between network personalities and political figures. Bartiromo’s compensation became one of the most eye-catching details revealed through that process. The $70 million figure has generated significant interest because it provides a glimpse into the enormous compensation packages available to high-profile television personalities. However, it is important to distinguish between total career compensation and an annual salary. Reporting in 2026 also indicated that Bartiromo was earning roughly $6 million per year near the end of her Fox tenure. Bartiromo’s relationship with Fox ultimately came to an end in September 2026. Reuters reported that Fox News Media parted ways with her after more than 12 years at the network, describing the departure as a business decision.
