NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: ‘Morning Joe’ host Joe Scarbrough has gained recognition for his legal, political, and hosting career as he amassed a hefty net worth for the same. At 60, Scarborough continues to be one of the most popular journalists in the US.

Although Scarborough is best known for ‘Morning Joe’ today, back in 1993, he was part of a very high-profile case where he represented Michael E Griffin. Yet that was only the start of the impressive career trajectory that would follow.

Scarborough is now married to fellow ‘Morning Joe’ co-host Mika Brzezinski and has four children. His dedication to MSNBC has gained him an impressive yearly salary which adds to his net worth.

What is Joe Scarborough’s net worth?

As of 2023, Scarborough boasts a remarkable net worth of $75 million according to Media Referee, which could be compared to some A-list celebrities in Hollywood. Scarborough reportedly earns close to $6 million at MSNBC, apart from a $4 million bonus.

In addition to working with MSNBC, Scarborough was also elected to the US House of Representatives for Florida's 1st congressional district in 1994. His political career came to a halt in 2001, when he stepped away after his fourth term with the Congress, to spend more time with his children, and it was around then that he married his now ex-wife, Susan Waren.

While Scarborough had an impressive legal and political career, he gained most of his recognition through MSNBC. In 2003, he started his career in television with ‘Scarborough Country’ and in 2007, ‘Morning Joe’ was born, which continues to be one of the most popular segments on MSNBC.

Scarborough’s collection of cars

Apart from being a splendid anchor on ‘Morning Joe’, Scarborough has a few hobbies outside of work, and one of them includes cars. As per Caknowledge, Scarborough owns some of the best luxury cars in the world.

Some of the cars that have been mentioned, which are reportedly in Scarborough’s possession are a BMW X8, Tesla Model 3, Volvo XC40, and a Range Rover Velar. All these together, cost close to half a million dollars.

Alimony paid by Scarborough

Although the ‘Morning Joe’ has amassed a large sum of money over the decades, he lost some in paying alimony to his ex-wife, Waren. They were married for 12 years, and according to The Week, Scarborough paid her $30,000 a month in alimony, which hardly made a dent in his net worth.
