Keith Olbermann is a popular political commentator that has appeared on a number of different shows throughout his career.
He actually began his career as a sports newscaster on ESPN’s Sports Center. He is currently estimated to have a net worth of around $25 million. He earns roughly $2 million per year through his current commentator contracts. In 1997, Olbermann made the switch to start his career as a news commentator. Eventually, he started hosting his own show in 2003. This was titled Countdown with Keith Olbermann, which was syndicated for several years. Through this show, Olbermann would discuss a variety of different and current political issues. He would eventually leave the show amid some controversy over how he was donating campaign contributions. He was able to quickly gain a new series with Current TV. This lasted a while, though Olbermann would depart that show as well in 2013. He is a passionate baseball fan and often provides his take on some of the events that are occurring in that sport.
