British television presenter and journalist Anne Robinson has an estimated net worth of $45 million. Born on September 26, 1944 in Crosby, United Kingdom. Anne Josephine Robinson chose journalism over training for the theater when she left school.
Robinson worked in a news agency then moved to London in 1967 and became the first young female trainee on the Daily Mail. She gained her permanent position after scooping the detailed story of the death of Brian Epstein, from being a family friend of the Liverpool solicitor handling the legalities, offering him a ride to Euston railway station when he could not find an available taxi. She went through several experiences as a journalist before making her way to television.
The feisty game-show host and former London journalist, irritated both viewers and contestants as the host of BBC television game show The Weakest Link. She gained notoriety with her fashionable black suits, oft-changing eye wear, and insulting barbs. She also dismissed ousted players with an abrupt, “You are the weakest link. Goodbye.” which has earned her the nickname “Queen of Mean”.
A year after, NBC adapted the British game show and Anne Robinson is still the presenter. Weakest Link made its debut on April 16, 2001. However, it was cancelled in 2002 and aired its final episode on July 14, 2002. It still has ten remaining episodes that were shown years later on PAX and GSN.
