"Judge Jeanine" made millions as a Fox News co-host.
As she seeks to be confirmed as US Attorney General for the District of Columbia, the conservative media personality has shed some light on her personal finances.
Jeanine Pirro disclosed a net worth of $11.6 million in a disclosure form provided to the Senate Judiciary Committee and obtained by BI on Thursday.
Her main assets include a $3.5 million home in Westchester County, New York, $1.7 million in cash or bank accounts, and a series of brokerage and retirement accounts worth a combined $7.2 million.
In a separate financial disclosure, which covers the roughly 16 months between January 2024 to May 2025, Pirro disclosed earning $2.9 million from Fox News, where she was as a co-host on "The Five" beginning in 2022.
During that same 16-month period, she was paid $513,000 by WABC Radio, where she hosted a weekly broadcast called "The Judge Jeanine Pirro Show." She also earned $70,000 from multiple paid speeches and $60,000 from unspecified consulting work.
Pirro is already serving in the job, having been named by President Donald Trump as interim US attorney in May after the previous nominee, Ed Martin, was withdrawn.
Pirro is one of several conservative media personalities and former Fox News hosts who Trump has brought into his administration. They include Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino, and Ambassador to Greece nominee Kimberly Guilfoyle.
Most nominees for top executive branch jobs are required to disclose details of their personal finances on a yearly basis, along with when they're nominated.
Representatives for Pirro, Fox News, and WABC Radio did not return requests for comment.
During her time at Fox News, Pirro was named in two major lawsuits filed by election technologies companies Dominion and Smartmatic in connection with statements she made about election systems during the 2020 election.
Before her media career, Pirro was a local politician in New York, and was elected as a judge and then the district attorney in Westchester County in the 1990s.
After a short-lived Senate bid against then-Sen. Hillary Clinton in 2006, Pirro ran for New York State Attorney General against Andrew Cuomo, ultimately losing handily to the future governor.
