Introduction

Anderson Cooper is an American professional journalist, television personality, and author with an estimated net worth of $50 Million.

Before Wealth & Fame

Growing up with a writer for a father and an heiress for a mother, Anderson Cooper met many interesting people. While still an infant, Diane Arbus photographed him for Harper’s Bazaar, and it was later displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

When he was ten, Anderson signed with Ford Models, a 1946-founded New York-based modeling agency. He spent three years as a model, working with brands such as Calvin Klein, Macy’s, and Ralph Lauren. However, he reportedly quit modeling after a photographer made inappropriate comments.

Cooper attended Yale University and interned at the CIA for two summers between semesters. However, he decided the job wasn’t for him, and being a passionate traveler, he moved to Vietnam to study Vietnamese at the University of Hanoi.

Early Career

In the 1990s, Anderson Cooper worked several jobs before joining CNN, including as a fact checker for Channel One News. While working for the network, he visited various conflict zones to film news segments, including Myanmar, Somalia, Rwanda, and, of course, Vietnam.

In 1995, Cooper joined ABC News, working as a correspondent and later as the co-anchor of World News Now. For a change of pace, Anderson briefly hosted the reality game show The Mole in 2000.

CNN Career

In 2001, Anderson Cooper began working as a correspondent for CNN. His popularity earned him his own news show, Anderson Cooper 360°, in 2003. The show became CNN’s primetime news program, covering humanitarian and social issues and featuring on-the-ground reporting in areas of disaster, conflict, and breaking news. This included coverage of 2005’s Hurricane Katrina and 2010’s earthquake in Haiti.

Now, over two decades later, the show is still on air and is in its 24th season. Cooper had built an impressive career at CNN over the last twenty-five years, hosting almost 3,000 episodes of Anderson Cooper 360° and earning millions annually with the network. More details on his salary are available below.

CNN Salary

During his early days at CNN, Cooper reportedly earned $2 million annually between 2003 and 2006. In 2007, he signed a new multi-year contract with CNN that would pay him roughly $4 million annually.

Anderson signed additional contracts in 2013 and 2015, significantly increasing his compensation. In 2015, he was estimated to be earning $11 million annually. In 2017, Variety reported his annual CNN compensation at $12 million; this figure is estimated to have climbed to $20 million in recent years.

Real Estate

In July 2014, Anderson Cooper paid $1.95 million for an 11,459-square-foot, eight-bedroom home in Bantam, Connecticut. The property sits on a whopping 48.9 acres and features 7.5 bathrooms. The previous owner had been seeking as much as $5.3 million a year prior, but eventually let it go for $3.3 million under the asking price. According to public records, Cooper still owns the home, which is costing him up to $41,000 in annual property taxes. Recent estimations place its value at approximately $3.3 million.

Total Career Earnings:		$97,017,172

Longevity was a crucial factor in Patrick Marleau’s career, allowing him to play at a professional level for over two decades and earn a consistently high income. During his NHL career, Marleau earned a total of $97 million in salary and bonuses, peaking in the 2010s. Let’s run through the timeline of his contracts and annual salary.

San Jose Sharks Contracts & Salary

When Patrick first signed with the San Joe Sharks in 1997, he secured a three-year rookie deal worth $2.78 million. This translated into a salary of $925,000 per year for the first three seasons of his career. It’s also worth noting that, according to our research, Marleau never signed a contract longer than four years. Most of his agreements were between one and two years in length.

His next three years in the NHL were all under one-year contracts, beginning with a $1.4 million salary in 2001, and increasing to $2.35 million by 2003. His 2003/04 contract was technically a two-year, $4.7 million deal; however, when the 2004/05 season was canceled due to the salary cap dispute, not a single player was paid for the entire year. As a result, he lost an additional $2.35 million in salary.

With every new contract, Patrick Marleau’s salary consistently increased. In 2005, he signed a three-year $12.5 million deal with the Sharks, pushing his average annual salary to $4.17 million. This was followed by a two-year $12.6 million agreement, worth $6.3 million per year.

In 2010, Marleau inked the most valuable deal of his career, worth $27.6 million over four years. Under the agreement, he earned $6.9 million per season, except in 2012/13, due to another NHL lockout. Players didn’t receive their full salaries that year; thus, Marleau earned an estimated $5.42 million. His final deal with the Sharks earned him $20 million over three years, bringing his total with the team to $81.53 million.

Additional Contracts & Earnings

The final four seasons of Patrick’s career would be split across four teams, but his most notable deal was a three-year, $18.75 million contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs. The 2017/28 season was the most lucrative of his entire career, earning him a peak annual salary of $8.5 million. He also played for the Pittsburgh Penguins and then rejoined the Sharks, retiring with the team.

Real Estate

According to public records, Patrick Marleau paid $3.9 million in January 2006 for a 5,726-square-foot, six-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom home in Saratoga, California. The property, built in 2001, features amenities such as an outdoor pool with a jacuzzi and gazebo area. Marleau relisted the property at $4.3 million in August 2014, but let it go for just $4.1 million in October. This would have resulted in a loss after taxes and commissions.

One of the more interesting properties in Patrick Marleau’s real estate history was his 12,000-square-foot, six-bedroom, seven-bathroom mansion in Toronto, Ontario. He reportedly paid $11.63 million for the home in 2017, upon signing with the Maple Leafs. The home boasts heated floors, eight fireplaces, and a huge 13-car garage. However, what sets it apart from other properties is the custom-built ice rink in the back garden. In 2019, when Marleau left Toronto, he put the home up for sale with an asking price of $11.88 million. That said, we were unable to find a confirmed sale price. Nonetheless, this also would have resulted in a loss.

In 2018, Gurley negotiated a new four-year deal worth $57.5 million with the Los Angeles Rams. His signing bonus was $21 million. After two years, the Rams cut Gurley, citing that he wasn’t worth the money. He earned $27 million on the contract before being released.

In 2020, Todd signed a one-year $5.5 million contract with the Atlanta Falcons, which included a $2 million signing bonus.

After retiring, Todd Gurley had earned $49.1 million in the NFL.

Endorsements

During his NFL career, Todd Gurley consistently earned additional income off the field through brand endorsements. The most notable of which was his Nike sponsorship, which began the moment he was drafted to the league. Gurley also secured endorsement deals with several other brands, often appearing in commercials for Carl’s Jr., Gatorade, Hardee’s, and Pizza Hut. His earnings from said deals were never disclosed to the public, but they definitely helped supplement his NFL income.

HUNGRY Investment

In 2020, Todd joined rapper Jay-Z and fellow NFL player Bobby Wagner to invest in HUNGRY. This office and event catering company currently operates in thirteen cities throughout the United States. Before Gurley’s investment, Jay-Z had already invested $8 million into HUNGRY. It’s unclear how much Gurley invested, although we do know it was during the company’s $20 million Series B funding round. In their previous round, HUNGRY also secured investments from Usher and Ndamukong Suh.

Real Estate

In May 2017, Todd Gurley paid $1.825 million for a 5,133-square-foot, five-bedroom, six-bathroom home in Chatsworth, California. The property features a distinctive outdoor pool with a rock-formation waterfall. Gurley relisted the house in August 2020 at $2.3 million and sold it for just over $2 million in January 2021. All things considered, he either broke even on the investment or made a minor loss.

Just before listing his previous home for sale, Gurley upgraded to a 10,319-square-foot, six-bedroom home just down the street. He paid $4.15 million for the property and remains the current owner at the time of writing. It now has an estimated value of $4.7 million.

Rookie Contract

After being selected by the Atlanta Falcons in the 2008 NFL Draft, Matt Ryan signed a six-year, $67.5 million rookie contract with the team. At the time, this was the highest-value contract signed by a rookie in NFL history and would be equivalent to $101.8 million today. Ryan was knocked off the top spot a year later when Matthew Stafford signed a $72 million deal with the Detroit Lions. The current record holder is Sam Bradford, who signed his $76 million rookie contract with the St. Louis Rams in 2010.

Despite the high value, only $34.5 million (just over half) of the contract was guaranteed. Ryan also received a $7.45 million signing bonus, which was pro-rated and paid out over the course of the contract. From 2010 onward, the quarterback was comfortably earning more than $10 million per year, but he secured only $39.6 million of the contract’s total value.

Nine-Figure Extension

When it came time to sign his first extension in 2013, Matt Ryan secured a five-year, $103.75 million contract, inking his first nine-figure deal. Once again, the guarantee was relatively low, at just $42 million overall. He also received a $28 million signing bonus, paid over two years ($13 million in the first season and $15 million in the second). In 2014, Ryan also received a $12 million option bonus, bringing his total to $36.5 million that year. Overall, he secured $94.5 million of the contract’s value.

Final NFL Contract

In 2018, Ryan signed his second nine-figure contract and the final contract of his NFL career, which was a $150 million, five-year deal. This time, he secured a much higher guarantee of $100 million, providing a substantial safety net, though he wouldn’t really need it. The first four years of the contract were spent at the Falcons, earning him an additional $117.5 million with the team, before he finished his career with the Indianapolis Colts.

Matt Ryan officially announced his retirement in 2024, after fifteen years in the NFL. He earned a total of $288.4 million in salary and bonuses, of which $251.6 million came from the Atlanta Falcons.

Real Estate

In January 2017, Matt Ryan paid $4.36 million for a 9,933-square-foot, five-bedroom, eight-bathroom home in Atlanta, Georgia. The property, situated on 1.16 acres, features an outdoor pool, a games room, a gym, and a wine room. Ryan relisted the property for sale in 2020 with an asking price of $5 million, but accepted an offer of $4.6 million in January 2021.
