You may know of Andrew Ross Sorkin if you regularly read The New York Times or tune in to CNBC’s Squawk Box. Airing from 6:00 a.m.–9:00 a.m. ET each weekday, Squawk Box discusses business, politics, and Wall Street news before the stock market opens.
Cornell University graduate Sorkin co-hosts the morning talk show alongside Joe Kernen and Becky Quick. CNBC claims that “the show brings Wall Street to Main Street” for professional and casual investors alike.
Sorkin is a financial columnist at The New York Times and founded DealBook at age 24 in 2001. It’s an online financial report published daily by the Times. At the Times, Sorkin is also the assistant editor of business and finance news, which gives him some power to guide the topics that the paper covers.
Recent column titles credited to Sorkin include DealBook newsletters “Bitcoin’s Climate Problem” and “Who’s Afraid of Inflation?”
In 2009, Sorkin authored the best-selling book Too Big to Fail: The Inside Story of How Wall Street and Washington Fought to Save the Financial System—and Themselves. In the book, he offers a behind-the-scenes account of the 2008 financial crisis.
Sorkin’s book Too Big To Fail received many accolades:
Sorkin received another Gerald Loeb Award in 2004 for his coverage of IBM selling its PC business to Lenovo.
Sorkin’s other awards:
The chair and editor-in-chief of the Business News Visionary Awards, Dean Rotbart, called Sorkin “the rare superstar business journalist who has done it all, successfully, and likely hasn’t even come close to reaching his career zenith.”
Celebrtiy Net Worth estimates Sorkin’s net worth at about $12 million. That figure comes from his work at the Times, his co-host role on Squawk Box, and his book royalties.
In addition to Sorkin’s work in traditional print and television journalism, he co-created the drama Billions, which airs on the Showtime network and has released five seasons so far.
When discussing his approach to financial journalism, Sorkin said in an interview for the Business News Visionary Awards, “I’ve always seen it through the prism of people. What makes you tick and what is motivating you, and what are the incentives that make you do what you do?”
Sorkin has been married since 2007 to Pilar Queen Sorkin. He tweeted, “My kids are more excited about this interview than anyone we’ve ever had on before,” referencing Roblox founder and CEO David Baszucki and the Roblox IPO.
