While at NBC, Kristen won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Live Coverage of a Current News Story – Long Form. Only recently, she became the only journalist to be featured at the “Glamour presents Meet the Women of Election 2016”.
Kristen is currently covering the Hillary Clinton presidential race. Her insight and on-screen intellect has proved that she is exactly where she belongs.
Kristen prefers to keep a low personal profile and is not public about her salary or the net worth
However, Kristen is found to keep her personal profile low and secret from public’s eyes. Not many knew about her relationship with John Hughes until she got engaged to him in July 2016.
What we can speculate about her net worth, though, is that it should be in double digit million (around 23 million possibly). Also, her net worth will be increasing with her popularity.
