BREAKING NEWS: Fox News’ powerful CEO Suzanne Scott breaks her silence – Opens up about one of the Toughest Decisions in the Network’s History!
In 2018, Suzanne Scott made history as the first female CEO of a major media organization. In October 2021, Fox extended Scott’s contract, showing trust in her leadership. While her exact salary remains undisclosed, her net worth is estimated between $30 million and $100 million.
Scott began as a programming assistant when Fox News launched in 1996. She helped shape Fox as a leading conservative channel, though it has faced backlash for controversial reporting. Under Scott, Fox encountered major legal trouble: Dominion Voting Systems filed a d3famati0n lawsuit over claims their machines were rigged in the 2020 election. Fox settled for $787 million before trial.
Soon after, Fox fired popular host Tucker Carlson, whose show had high ratings. Reports say Rupert Murdoch and his son Lachlan decided on the move while at an airport, leaving Scott to deliver the news, claiming it came “from above.” Fox stock dropped by $507 million in value the next day.
Fox previously faced costly s3xual h@rassm3nt claims during Roger Ailes’ leadership. While Scott worked to improve the workplace, lawsuits persisted, including Smartmatic’s d3famati0n case. Beyond her career, Scott keeps her family private, though she has a daughter born in 2006 and husband Preston Scott. In October 2021, Scott rang the Nasdaq opening bell as Fox celebrated 25 years on air.
