Anderson Hays Cooper Wiki Biography

Anderson Hays Cooper was born on 3 June 1967, in New York City USA, and is a model, journalist, author, film and television producer, as well as a presenter. Anderson is perhaps best recognized as a correspondent and journalist, who has worked with such TV news networks as ABC, CNN and CBS, and even premiered his own syndicated talk show entitled “Anderson Live”.

So just how rich is Anderson Cooper? According to sources, Anderson’s net worth is estimated to be $110 million, as of mid-2016. The main sources for Anderson Cooper’s impressive wealth are his career as a journalist including his television appearances.

Anderson Cooper’s father was a well-known writer, while his mother was both a writer and an artist. With such famous parents, Cooper had a lot of exposure to the media from the earliest stages of his childhood. Cooper made his first appearances on television screens in 1970, when at the age of three he was featured on a late-night talk show with his mother –  “The Tonight Show”. As a teenager, Anderson took up a job as a model and was signed to the Ford Modeling Agency where he worked with Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein. Cooper then attended Dalton School and continued his studies at the Yale University, from where he graduated with a BA degree in political science, deciding then that he wished to follow a career as a journalist.

Cooper’s first major work related to journalism was in the Channel One News network, where he initially worked as a fact checker, but slowly rose to prominence with more on the scene reports he provided for the network. In 1995, Anderson Cooper left Channel One to work with ABC News, and as a correspondent and co-anchor on several news shows, Cooper soon expanded his career path, and accepted an offer to work as a host of the reality game show called “The Mole”. His net worth was certainly rising.

However, Cooper did stay long, as two years later in 2002, he left “The Mole” and ABC altogether, and instead went to work as an anchor on CNN, where Cooper was to gain wide public exposure and was able to contribute much more to his net worth. Cooper slowly rose to fame during his time with the CNN network, as he was not only an anchor of “American Morning” and a host of “New Year’s Eve Special” segments, but also had his own first show called “Anderson Cooper 360”. Cooper managed to settle himself down in CNN, and in 2007 signed a deal with the network that doubled his annual salary, from $2 million up to $4 million. In 2011, Cooper premiered another show entitled “Anderson Live”, that was on air for two years until its cancellation in 2013.

Even though Anderson Cooper is primarily known as a television personality, he is also a freelance writer who has made numerous contributions to various magazines, and even published a memoir called “Dispatches from the Edge”, both of which have added to his net worth.

In his personal life, Anderson makes no secret that he is gay, and lives with his partner Benjamin Maisani, the owner of a gay bar, in Connecticut.

Anderson Hays Cooper Quotes

• It’s become clear to me that by remaining silent on certain aspects of my personal life for so long, I have given some the mistaken impression that I am trying to hide something – something that makes me uncomfortable, ashamed, or even afraid. This is distressing because it is simply not true. The fact is, I’m gay, always have been, always will be, and I couldn’t be any more happy, comfortable with myself, and proud.
• As a child, I used to spend summers at the beach, and I loved to run along the edge of the sand cliffs made by the retreating tide. As I ran, I could feel the sand collapse beneath me, but as long as I kept moving forward, kept running fast, I could stay one step ahead of the falling cliff. That’s what anchoring the news is like. You can easily falter, easily destroy your career in a sentence or two. The key is to keep going, keep moving, never forget you’re running on sand.
• I think I was really shaped by loss, by the loss of my dad when I was ten, and the suicide of my brother when I was twenty-one and he was twenty-three. Both those things motivated me to be independent and self-reliant, to set out on my own and figure out my way in the world in a way that I thought would lead to a healthy, happier life.
• I started going to wars by myself because I was interested in the issues of survival. I wanted to be around people who spoke the language of loss.
• [on celebrities] Seeing these people on TV, you think you want to be like them. But when you meet them, it’s kind of disappointing. You realize, my God, they’re just as desperate as everybody else. Especially the people in movies and TV. They’re always looking around to see what more famous, better paid person is about to come into the room and steal their thunder. [They’re]really creative and interested and fascinating, but they’re also driven and kind of mad and unhappy.
• I haven’t reached the level of ego yet where I can talk about myself in the third person, but I’m so hoping I reach that stage.
• When a big event happens people turn on to CNN, not only because they know there will be people there covering an event on the ground, but because they know we’re going to cover it in a way that’s non-partisan, that’s not left or right.
• You know, I understand why people might be interested. But I just don’t talk about my personal life. It’s a decision I made a long time ago, before I ever even knew anyone would be interested in my personal life. The whole thing about being a reporter is that you’re supposed to be an observer and to be able to adapt with any group you’re in, and I don’t want to do anything that threatens that. [In New York magazine, responding to rumors that he might be gay.]
• Regarding his appearance on Celebrity Jeopardy: “It was called the Power Players edition, though I’m not sure why I was in it because I’m neither a “playa” nor a person of power. The experience really made me realize how much of a loser I am, because of how much I got into it. I mean, it’s kind of a no-win proposition. In what I do you’re supposed to know a certain amount of things, and there you are exposing yourself to ridicule for not knowing stuff. I didn’t consider it that much in advance, but that morning I woke up and was like ‘What have I got myself into?’ But I feel OK about it now.”
• When I was younger, I talked to the adults around me that I respected most about how they got where they were, and none of them plotted a course they could have predicted, so it seemed a waste of time to plan too long-term. Since then I’ve always gone on my instincts.
• If I’m hip, we’ve got a problem in this country. I really shouldn’t be held up as any model of hipness. If anything I think I’m sort of old school in my approach to objective reporting and not wearing my opinion on my sleeve. There’s a lot of that in American TV news these days. Too much, in fact.
• Obviously I was well aware that I had what people consider a privileged upbringing. My mom was never a bake-cookies sort of mom. I really had no reins whatsoever.
• Anyone who has experienced a certain amount of loss in their life has empathy for those who have experienced loss.
• I am sort of drawn toward places in the world where there is struggle and conflict.
• When the war in Iraq began I was anchoring the overnight coverage for CNN. Your teleprompter is blank and you have four hours to fill, and it can be a very long night if you don’t know your stuff. I like that challenge.
• I’ve always loved reporting from the field most of all. There’s something about doing live TV and being there as it happens that’s always appealed to me. I think there’s great value to bearing witness to these events as they’re actually happening.
• “I very much do not want to become what I used to make fun of. The newscaster on The Simpsons (1989) sadly is not that far off from what you see out there”.
• Going gray is like ejaculating: you know it can happen prematurely, but when it does it comes as a total shock.
• We do things with a wink and a nod. If you don’t include yourself in the critique, you have no business doing it.
