Steve Bannon: Net Worth Of The Trump Adviser

Steve Bannon was the chief executive officer of Trump’s presidential campaign in 2016 and a political strategist who joined the Trump administration in its early months. Before becoming the executive chairman of Breitbart News, Bannon served as a naval officer for the United States. Amidst rumors of being dismissed, he left the White House in August of 2017. Breitbart fired him in January of 2018. Bannon was arrested in August 2020 on allegations of scamming contributors to the We Build the Wall campaign; however, President Trump eventually pardoned him.

Net worth

Bannon’s net worth was estimated by Forbes to be between $9.5 million and $48 million in April 2017, well over halfway through his stint as senior counselor and top strategist to former President Donald Trump. At this time, he’s worth $20 million.
According to Forbes, White House filings revealed that Bannon has an interest in his consulting business, Bannon Strategic Advisors, valued at $5 million to $25 million. Bannon made $191,000 from Breitbart News in the preceding year, as was disclosed in the filing. The right-wing think tank Government Accountability Institute paid him $61,000, while the data analytics business Cambridge Analytica paid him $125,000.

Moreover, Bannon reportedly had a lucrative career in the entertainment industry, according Forbes. By advising Westinghouse Electric on its sale of the production business Castle Rock to Ted Turner, Bannon and his firm, Bannon & Co., were rewarded with ownership in five Castle Rock productions. Among these five series was the massively successful NBC comedy Seinfeld, which, as of the time of the Forbes study, had raked in an estimated $3.26 billion through syndication. Bannon’s connections to the entertainment industry go beyond what has been mentioned. He served as an executive producer on the 1991 Sean Penn picture The Indian Runner as well as a co-executive producer on the 1999 Julie Taylor feature Titus.

Recently, Bannon has served as producer on films including Battle for America, District of Corruption, and Clinton Cash. Nevertheless, in 2013, he returned to written work as an executive producer on the Western picture Sweetwater, which starred January Jones and Ed Harris.
