How rich is Abby Huntsman? As of early-2018, sources estimate a net worth that is at $20 million, mostly earned through success in journalism.

Growing up, she spent several years living in Asia, particularly in Singapore and Taiwan with her parents. At a young age, Abby got her first broadcast experience working behind the scenes at the show “Good Morning America”. However, she did not have a good experience, and thought about giving up this career. She later attended the University of Pennsylvania, and during her time there, interned for broadcaster Diane Sawyer, and became so impressed with Sawyer’s way of presenting and representation that she aspired to become like her. She graduated with a degree in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (PPE). In 2012, while her father started a presidential campaign, she appeared as a political commentator for ABC News as well as “Good Morning America@.
She was profiled as a part of the segment of “This Week with George Stephanopoulos” entitled “Five Questions”, and by publications such as “BuzzFeed”, “GQ”, and “The New Yorker”, plus being interviewed on “Rock Center”. Before committing to broadcast journalism full time, she held a position at the firm Burson-Marsteller which focuses on international public relations.
In 2013, Huntsman was named as one of the up-and-coming members of the media by Forbes magazine. She then joined the show “The Cycle”, becoming the second replacement host and denying criticism that she was chosen because of her family name; the show would run for two years before cancellation. She also produced for “HuffPost Live”, and was a frequent guest on CNN. In 2015, she then joined Fox News Channel as a general assignment reporter, and two years later the morning program “Fox and Friends” – her net worth was rising steadily.
For her personal life, it is known that Abby married her college sweetheart Jeffrey Bruce Livingston in 2010, and they have a daughter together. She supports gay marriage, and appeared alongside Meghan MccCain as well as Margaret Hoover in support of it. She’s very active on social media, having over 110,000 followers on Twitter and over 60,000 on Instagram. She also has over 7,500 likes on Facebook. All of her social media pages are updated regularly with similar content, either about work, or about her daily endeavors. Criticism continues to follow her, still based on ‘family connections’.
