What is Greg Gutfeld’s net worth?
Greg’s net worth currently stands at $28 million, which he earned through yapping (it pays to “Most Talkative,” peeps). He reportedly brings in an annual salary of $7 million for his Fox News contributions. The California native began his career as an American TV personality and writer after graduating with a B.A. in English from The University of California, Berkley, per Celebrity Net Worth.
After graduating from college, Greg began an internship at a conservative magazine called The American Spectator and later landed a job as a staff writer for Prevention. He eventually moved up the ranks as an editorial writer, penning articles for Men’s Health before taking over as editor-in-chief in 1999, followed by another EIC role at Stuff magazine. Greg also briefly worked as an editor for Maxim, but his contract with the outlet wasn’t renewed due to low viewership.
In the 2010s, the writer pivoted to being in front of the camera, lending his conservative takes to The Five in 2011. Greg’s time on The Five resulted in him hosting his late-night show, Red Eye w/ Greg Gutfeld on Fox News in 2007. He followed up with his current show, Gutfeld! shortly after leaving Red Eye.
In addition to hosting, Greg is passionate about self-help. He’s an author of multiple books, including his 2015 project, How To Be Right: The Art of Being Persuasively Correct and The Plus: Self-Help for People Who Hate Self-Help.

Who is Greg Gutfeld’s wife?
Greg’s impressive net worth didn’t come from his resting on his laurels. Thankfully, he has the support of his wife of over two decades, Elena Moussa. Elena and Greg met while he was on a work trip in Portugal in 2004. He proposed soon after they met, and they were married.
“I met her and I go, ‘Oh, that’s my wife,’ the host recalled on a March 2023 episode of Bill Maher’s Club Random Podcast. “And then I spent three days in Portugal trying to talk to her.”
Greg’s wife is a stylist and creative director who worked at Maxim in Russia when her husband was the editor for the U.S. brand. She also has a well curated Instagram page, which doesn’t include her husband. Likewise, many of Greg’s Instagram photos include more snaps of the couple’s French bulldog, Gus, than of him and his wife together. Nonetheless, the pair is happily married, so there’s something to be said about keeping your love private, especially given his visibility.
