Tom Brokaw’s net worth, biography, fact, career, awards and life story

Tom Brokaw net worth and salary: Tom Brokaw is an American television journalist and author who has a net worth of $85 million. Tom Brokaw is probably most famous for serving as the lead anchor and managing editor of “NBC Nightly News” from 1982 to 2004. Salary/Contracts: In 1997 Tom signed a five-year $7 million contract with NBC. That’s the same as earning around $11.4 million in today’s dollars. He then signed an a three-year extension to keep him at the helm of NBC Nightly News through 2004. When that contract ended he signed a new 10-year extension that kept Brokaw at the network to produce documentaries and other series. He has since signed additional extensions. The terms of those extensions are not known, but the annual salary amounts are believed to be in the $5 million range. Early Life: Thomas John Brokaw was born on February 6, 1940 in Webster, South Dakota, the eldest of three sons to Jean and Anthony Brokaw. He attended Yankton Senior High School where he was governor of South Dakota American Legion Boys State, before moving on to The University of Iowa. His time in Iowa was less than productive so Tom soon transferred to the University of South Dakota where he graduated in 1964 with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science. Career: His first job after college was at a television station called KITV in Sioux City, Iowa. From there, Tom worked at stations in Nebraska and Georgia before joining NBC News in 1966. His first job for NBC was as the anchor for the 11pm News at KNBC in Los Angeles. He got a huge break when NBC bumped him to White House correspondent just before the Watergate scandal broke. He was the anchor of the Saturday editions of “Nightly News” at this time as well. Brokaw kept a closely guarded secret for many years and only several years later disclosed that he had been offered, and promptly turned down, the press secretary position in the Nixon White House in 1969. On April 5, 1982, Brokaw began appearing on “NBC Nightly News” from New York. Originally a co-anchor with Roger Mudd, the NBC News president Reuven Frank concluded after one year that the dual anchor program was not working and selected Brokaw as the sole anchor. “The NBC Nightly News with Tom Brokaw” began in September 1983. Throughout his time on the show, he reported on the Challenger Disaster, Hurricane Andrew, the Loma Prieta earthquake, and numerous others. In 1989, Brokaw was the first English-language broadcast journalist to report the Fall of the Berlin Wall. He attended a televised press conference in East Berlin organized by Gunter Schabowski, whom Brokaw had an interview with after the press conference. Later that night, Brokaw reported from the west side of Brandenburg Gate as pandemonium broke out. Among other infamous Brokaw reports, conducted the first one-on-one American television interview with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev and Russian President Vladamir Putin. On September 11, 2001, Brokaw, Katie Couric, and Matt Lauer joined forces around 9:30 a.m. following the live attack on the South Tower of the World Trade Center and continued to anchor all day, well after midnight. After the collapse of the second tower, Brokaw made this powerful statement: “This is war. This is a declaration and an execution of an attack on the United States.” He continued to anchor coverage until past midnight the following two days. Later that month, a letter containing anthrax was addressed to him as part of the 2001 anthrax attacks. He was unharmed, but two NBC News employees were infected. In 2002, NBC announced Brokaw’s retirement as anchor of “NBC Nightly News”, following the 2004 presidential election, to be succeeded by Brian Williams. Brokaw was set to remain with “NBC News” in a part-time capacity from that point onwards, serving as an analyst, anchoring, and producing documentary programs. Brokaw closed his final “Nightly News” broadcast in front of 15.7 million viewers on December 1, 2004. His opening statement of his final address was: “Well the time is here. We’ve been through a lot together through dark days and nights and seasons of hope and joy. Whatever the story, I had only one objective, to get it right.” He was regarded as the most popular news personality in the United States by the end of his run as “Nightly News” anchor. After leaving his position as an anchor, Brokaw remained with NBC as a Special Correspondent. He served as an NBC analyst during the 2008 presidential election campaign and moderated the second presidential debate between Barack Obama and John McCain. Since 2008, he has served occasionally as a moderator for “Meet the Press.” In 2011, he began hosting a baseball documentary series for Fox Sports Net called “The Boys in the Hall.” In 2014, a new broadcast facility opened on the University Studios Hollywood lot named in Brokaw’s honor, the Brokaw News Center. Later that year, President Barack Obama presented Brokaw with the Presidential Medal of Freedom. In 2016, Brokaw gave a eulogy for former First Lady Nancy Reagan at her funeral. Tom has also written ten books. The most famous of which is probably 1998’s “The Greatest Generation” which earned him numerous awards and honors and is a perennial best seller. In 2019, Brokaw wrote about his experiences working as a reporter and as a member of the White House press corps in “The Fall of Richard Nixon: A Reporter Remembers Watergate.” Brokaw also serves on the board of directors of the Council on Foreign Relations, the Committee to Protect Journalists, the International Rescue Committee, and the Mayo Clinic. Tom is also a member of the Howard University School of Communications Board of Visitors and a trustee of the University of South Dakota, the Norton Simon Museum, the American Museum of Natural History, and the International Rescue Committee. Personal Life: Brokaw has been married to author Meredith Lynn Auld since 1962. They have three daughters. Brokaw and his wife bought a ranch in Livingston Montana in 1989, where they spend most of their time. Brokaw was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a blood cancer, in 2013. In December 2014, he announced that his cancer was in full remission. Real Estate: In 1998 Tom and his wife Meredith paid $4.25 million for a 56-acre estate in Westchester County, New York. They listed the estate for sale in June 2018 for $6.3 million. They ultimately sold the property at a loss in August 2019 when a buyer paid $4.25 million. It’s unclear if Tom sold the full 56-acres or roughly 46-acres. At one point the property was removed from the market and re-listed as two parcels, one of 10-acres and another of 46-acres. During the peak of his time at NBC, Tom would spend weekends at the Westchester estate and weekdays at a Park Avenue duplex. The Brokaws sold this duplex in 2011 for $10 million. They still own a different New York City apartment on Park Avenue. For roughly three decades Tom and Meredith lived half the year on a 4,128-acre ranch in Park County, Montana. They listed this ranch in June 2017 for $17.9 million. They sold the ranch in 2019 for an undisclosed price.

Taylor Hackford’s net worth, biography, fact, career, awards and life story

Taylor Hackford Net Worth: Taylor Hackford is an American film director who has a net worth of $100 million. He is perhaps as well-known for being the husband of actress Helen Mirren as he is for his directing credits. Our net worth listed here is a combined net worth with Helen. Taylor directed and produced the movies “Ray”, “Proof of Life” and “The Devil’s Advocate”. Early Life: Taylor Hackford was born December 31, 1941 in Santa Barbara, California. Taylor’s initial passions lay with international relations, which he studied while pursuing a degree in pre-law at the University of Southern California. After graduating in 1968, he headed to Bolivia as part of the Peace Corps, where he began experimenting with a Super-8 camera in his spare time, documenting the world around him. He abandoned law in favor of a film degree from USC’s School of Cinema then took a job in the mail-room at the Los Angeles public television station KCET-TV. The position served as a training ground for the aspiring director. Career: He quickly moved up to the station’s cultural programming department where he was among the first in the country to present uninterrupted broadcasts of musical performances from the likes of Bonnie Raitt, Cat Stevens and Leon Russell. From there he worked as an investigative reporter and earned two Emmys and an Associated Press Award. He graduated to film documentaries in 1973 and was soon winning Oscars and racking up hits. His film An Officer and a Gentleman (1982) came close to having a different ending when actor Richard Gere protested to the ending, feeling it was too sentimental. Hackford stuck with the sentimental ending and proved his theory right when even Gere said that (when paired with the music soundtrack) it gave him chills. In a 2005 interview, Hackford confirmed that he never watched his own films. On July 25, 2009, Hackford was elected President of the Directors Guild of America and re-elected to a second, two-year term on June 25, 2011. His other notable films include 2004’s Ray which also won him an Academy Award. Personal Life: Hackford has been married three times. He met Helen Mirren when she came in to audition for the movie “White Nights”. Hackford reportedly kept her waiting for over an hour which caused her to be extremely icy to him. Hackford and Mirren wed in 1997 after 12 years together, despite the fact that as a young woman Mirren had vowed never to marry. Real Estate: Hackford and Mirren have homes in Los Angeles, Provence (France), New York City, New Orleans and Lake Tahoe (Nevada). In 1986 Taylor bought a 6.6-acre property in the Hollywood Hills. In 2014 Taylor and Helen listed this home for rent for the low-low fee of $40,000 per month.
