How Did Matt Lauer make their money and wealth
Starting out soon after his dropping out of Ohio University in 1979 (and subsequently graduating from that college in 1997 in communications), Matt Lauer started as a local reporter for a West Virginia news station before getting picked up by larger cities who noticed his talent in discussing issues with and informing an audience. Aside from his news reporting, he would also experiment with many different kinds of reality show hosting in the late 1980’s to the mid-1990’s, then in 1992, he’d be picked as an anchor for the Today show. Throughout the subsequent decades, he would host his own travel segments, interview royalty, and appear at many Olympic Games opening ceremonies as well as provided commentary on filmed events. In 2012, Lauer signed a contract with NBC worth at least $25 million aside from the fortune he’d already amassed. He has also appeared in several films (usually as himself) from serious dramas to Sharknado 2. His on-air presence came to a sudden stop in 2017 as he was internally accused of sexual misconduct and dropped from his network contracts in the wake of them. That being said, he still retains a good amount of real estate which he has collected throughout his career, including more than a handful of mansions and big city apartments.
