What is Ginger Zee’s net worth? ‘GMA’ star is one of the highest paid meteorologists on TV
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: ‘Good Morning America’s meteorologist Ginger Zee has been at the helm of her job for a decade. The 42-year-old joined ‘GMA’ in 2011 and after just two years, she was promoted to the role of the chief meteorologist after Sam Champion left for The Weather Channel.
Zee’s monumental rise is a result of her sheer handwork and the big bucks she’s paid are only a testament to the integral journalist qualities she brings to the table. Given her compensation, Zee is regarded as one of the most handsomely paid meteorologists on air, finding herself on par with the likes of Al Roker and Champion. For her role as ‘GMA’s’ chief meteorologist, Zee currently draws an annual salary of $500,000 and her net worth has only gone up in recent years.
What is Ginger Zee’s net worth?
Zee had a goal when she started her journey as a weather reporter. She wanted to work at ‘Today' by the age of 30 and she did manage to accomplish that dream when she was asked to fill in as the guest meteorologist on the weekend edition of the show. However, since 2013, ‘GMA’ has been blessed with Zee’s ferocious weather coverage and helped her amass a net worth close to $2.5M as per Celebrity Net Worth. This not only comes from her works as a ‘GMA’ anchor but her continued public appearances as well.
Zee has also made several public appearances on various reality TV shows. In 2015, she competed on an episode of ‘Celebrity Jeopardy!' against celebs Bellamy Young and Josh Gad. In March 2016, Zee was one of the contestants on the Season 22 of ‘Dancing with the Stars’ which has only helped build her personal brand. She is an active voice for climate change and continues to reveal the effects of severe pollution across the USA.
Ginger Zee’s fearless reporting on climate change
Over the past few months, Zee has been touring cities all across the US, reporting on the damage that intense heat waves had caused to the states in the south. The 'GMA' meteorologist spent some time in Florida as well and dived into the ocean to report on the deteriorating conditions of the coral reefs in that area. Her social media has long and continuous posts about the rising temperatures across the nation and despite her efforts to showcase the devastating effects of climate change, her posts are met with hostility by many climate change deniers. However, Zee marches on against all odds to deliver facts about the weather changes every day on ‘GMA.’
