What Is Eboni K. Williams's Net Worth?

Eboni K. Williams is an American lawyer and television host who has a net worth of $2 million. Eboni K. Williams hosted shows like "State of the Culture" and "Fox News Specialists." In October 2020, she was cast in "The Real Housewives of New York City" for its thirteenth season.

Early Life

Eboni K. Williams was born Eboni Kiuhnna Williams on September 9, 1983, in Charlotte, North Carolina. She was raised by her single mother, who worked as a bus driver. After finishing high school, she received her Bachelor of Arts in Communications and African American studies from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Eboni later went on to law school and obtained her J.D. degree from Loyola University New Orleans College of Law. While she was a law student, she clerked for the Louisiana Secretary of State and the Louisiana Attorney General's office. She also assisted New Orleans council members in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

Career

Williams began her legal career by providing legal counsel in family law and civil litigation in 2008. She also worked as a public defender before returning to private practice in 2010. During this time, she provided representation for clients in homicide, rape, drug, sex crime, and federal offense cases. After years as a practicing attorney, Eboni decided she wanted to pursue a career in broadcast journalism.

In 2014, Williams was hired by CBS News as a correspondent. She covered daily news with a specific focus on legal issues, though also covered broader news stories as well. She remained in the position for one year before she was hired by Fox News as an anchor and legal and political analyst in 2015. In this role, Eboni was featured on some of the network's most popular shows at the time, like "The O'Reilly Factor" and "Hannity." She was often featured on segments that required legal analysis and was sometimes asked to be on the Fox Business Network as well.

In 2017, Williams joined a new show on Fox News called "Fox News Specialists" as a co-host, making her the first Black woman to co-host a prime-time cable news show. She co-hosted the show along with Eric Boling and Kat Timpf. The show additionally featured two rotating guests called specialists, and the panel would discuss current events and political issues. The show was created to replace "The Five," which was moved to a different time slot after Bill O'Reilly was forced out of Fox News. However, after Eric Boling faced allegations of sexual misconduct, the show struggled to build momentum, and Fox canceled "Fox New Specialists" in September 2017. Williams remained at Fox until 2018 before leaving the network. She has since described her time with Fox as challenging and says that her intent in joining the historically more conservative network was to disrupt the status quo and provide a more diverse range of viewpoints.

In 2017, Williams joined WABC Radio as a co-host of a midday talk show along with longtime radio personality Curtis Sliwa. She replaced Ron Kuby as Sliwa's co-host. Eboni made her first appearance on the show in June before leaving in October. The same year, she published a book called "Pretty Powerful: Appearance, Substance, and Success."

In 2019, Williams began hosting her own show on Revolt TV called "State of Culture." She also works as an executive producer on the show. The show had originally been created in 2018 by Joe Budden and Sean Combs. In 2020, Williams began hosting and executive producing the podcast "Holding Court with Eboni K. Williams." In the show, she discusses prominent news headlines and provides a legal angle.

Williams joined the cast of "The Real Housewives of New York City" in 2021 as the first Black cast member. She joined the show's 13th season but left by the 14th season. Eboni has since stated that she experienced racism on the show's set from some of the other castmates and that she brought some of her issues to the show's production team, but nothing was done.

Williams was invited to join "The View" as a guest host in 2021. In 2022, she began hosting "Dark Nights in the City" on OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network. On the show, she talks about notorious crimes committed in New York City and provides legal analysis. The same year, she also began hosting "The Grio," another show that covers news issues with a specific focus on their effect on Black global audiences.

Personal Life

Williams has formerly dated Steven Glenn, a financial professional who has worked for a number of large organizations and companies. They dated for four years before the Covid-19 pandemic began. Glenn chose to quarantine with his children in New Jersey while Williams remained in New York City. After six months of not spending quarantine together, the couple decided to part ways.
