King’s success came with hard work and determination.
King built on her successes year after year, and it finally began to show in her paycheck.
In 1981, she joined WFSB-TV, a CBS affiliate, in Hartford, Connecticut.

King soon became an editor at “O, the Oprah Magazine” in 1999.
It wasn’t until 2011 that CBS hired King for “CBS This Morning.”
However, King revealed to TheHollywood Reporterthat she wasn’t the first pick for co-anchor.

TV producer Chris Licht advocated for her over the years, which helped put her in the running.
When she was finally named co-anchor, however, she still had to advocate for equal pay.
According toCelebrity Net Worth, her net worth is currently estimated at $40 million.
