Jemele Juanita Hill was born on the 21st December 1975, in Detroit, Michigan USA, and is a sports journalist and commentator, who is perhaps best known for being the co-host of ESPN’s sports television program “SportsCenter”. She is also widely recognized for her previous engagements in the “His and Hers” and “Numbers Never Lie” sports discussion shows.
Have you ever wondered how much wealth this American journalist has accumulated so far? How rich Jemele Hill is? According to sources, it is estimated that the total of Jemele Hill’s net worth, as of early 2018, exceeds the sum of $5 million, and includes an annual salary of $1 million as well as a luxurious sedan Maserati Quattroporte. It has all been acquired through her career in journalism, which has been active since the late 1990s.
Jemele Hill Net Worth $5 Million
Although she was born in Detroit, to Denise Dennard and Jerel Brickerson, one part of her childhood Jemele spent in Houston, Texas, with her mother after her parents separated, however, she matriculated from Mumford High School in 1993 in her home town. Later, she graduated in 1997 from Michigan State University, majoring in journalism with a minor in Spanish language. She then began her professional career at the Raleigh News & Observer, where she served as a general assignment sports writer, and which provided the basis for Jemele Hill’s current net worth.
In 1999 Jemele transferred to the Detroit Free Press, where in the course of the next several years, she primarily covered topics related to Michigan State’s basketball and American Football teams. Besides covering the NBA Playoffs, in 2004 she was in charge of covering the XXVIII Summer Olympic Games in Athens, Greece. In 2005 she relocated to Orlando, Florida, where she served as a columnist for the Orlando Sentinel ’til 2006. All these endeavors helped Jemele Hill to establish herself as a prominent sports journalist, as well as adding significantly to the total of her net worth.
However, Hill’s journalism career was set on the rising path in November 2006, when she joined the ESPN. As a national columnist, she steadily increased her on-camera appearances, featuring regularly in programs such as “Outside the Lines”, “The Sports Reporters” and “ESPN First Take”. In 2011, alongside Michael Smith, Jemele launched “His and Hers” TV podcast, which dramatically boosted her popularity. In 2013, she became the co-host of the sports discussion show “Numbers Never Lie” on ESPN2, which was rebranded as “His & Hers” in November 2014 which lasted ’til January 2017, and certainly helped to increase the total of her revenues by a large margin.
In February 2017, the Hill and Smith duo began hosting the ESPN’s flagship sports show – “Sports Center” – which was later aired at 6pm as “SC6 with Michael and Jemele”. In September 2017, Jemele caught the eye of the mass media for posting a series of critical tweets against the current President of the US Donald Trump, calling him a “white supremacist” for which she earned a two-week suspension. Doubtlessly, all these exposures have made an impact on Jemele Hill’s overall net worth.
When it comes to her personal life, despite spending the majority of her time in front of the cameras, Jemele Hill has managed to keep it private as there aren’t many relevant data about her romantic connections or love affairs. However, through her social media accounts, where she has been followed by more than 1.25 million fans altogether, it has been publically acknowledged that she is apparently married to a man whose identity is concealed behind the nick Ol’ Boy.
