<a href="/biography/maria-bartiromo">Maria Sara Bartiromo</a> is an American <a href="/biography/maria-bartiromo">broadcast journalist</a>, magazine writer, and book author. She worked with CNN for five years before moving on to a position with CNBC.

Background

Maria was born on September 11, 1967 to American-Italian parents. She was a <a href="/biography/maria-bartiromo">student</a> at Fontbonne Hall Academy located in Bay Ridge and later went to New York University to pursue her Bachelor’s Degree in Journalism and Economics.

She really enjoyed growing up in Brooklyn because it was a great neighborhood. She grew up on a street where there was a lot of young people and children playing outside. She would play a game called manhunt and stick ball on her block. It was very much a family neighborhood. Brooklyn was a great place for her to live because it felt like it was a suburban environment, but it really wasn’t. As a young woman, she could go into the city and have fun and still be 30 minutes from home. It was a middle class environment where all the neighbors knew each other, and her parents were very hard working her whole life. She always watched them work very hard and that’s obviously why she also works so hard. She still goes back a lot to her old home town because she still has family there. She is very grateful to have been raised in Brooklyn.

Maria’s parents owned an Italian restaurant. The restaurant was called Rex Manor, and she used to check coats there and on Saturdays. At some point she wanted to become a singer, a pharmacist, nurse or interior decorator but she finally decided on a career when she studied journalism. It was then when she found out what her true love was.

She describes her mother as “her friend and her hero”. Her mother worked hard to bring up her three kids and always taught her not to give up.

Journalism Career

Maria has appeared on numerous television shows and also received awards for her journalism work. Maria started off her broadcasting career as a producer and assignment editor of the show, CNN Business News. After spending 5 productive years in CNN, she moved on and joined CNBC in 1993, as a host and managing editor of her own show, On the Money with Maria Bartiromo. The format of the show involved Maria interview financial figures and analysts.  She was the first <a href="/biography/maria-bartiromo">reporter</a> who reported directly from the NYSE and she did it daily. This move was quite unwelcomed from the male traders present in the NYSE, but she kept her cool and said that she was confident as she knew her stuff.

Bartiromo says that she takes lessons from world leaders and corporate giants. She was brought up in working class and mentioned how she was taught that hard work is one of the most important things in life. In the year 2002, she started anchoring <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closing_Bell">Closing Bell</a>, a daily program on cable network.  In 2007, Maria went on to host the show, The Business of Innovation. She was a hit with producers and viewers of CNBC. She was tasked to host various programs such as <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closing_Bell">Closing Bell</a>, Business Centre and Market Wrap.

After 20 years of working for the CNBC network, Maria left to join the FOX Business Network. CNBC issued a statement of gratitude on her departure, thanking her for the wonderful work she did with the network. When she arrived at Fox, they assigned her to be the Global Markets Editor and host of her own program, Mornings with Maria which airs on the FOX Business network and Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo which air on the Fox News Channel. It made sense that Fox would hire her for their finance department because of her strong resume and experience.

On her new Sunday Morning Futures show, she was very excited to <a href="https://parade.com/275365/erinhill/maria-bartiromo-on-her-new-show-unexpected-friendship-with-joey-ramone-and-the-three-secrets-to-success/">share news about her first guests</a> with Parade Magazine, “This upcoming weekend is the soft deadline to sign up for Obamacare, so we will speak with one of the leading hospital CEOs, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toby_Cosgrove">Toby Cosgrove</a> of the Cleveland Clinic. And then we will talk broadly about the economy and how to create jobs with <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence_Summers">Larry Summers</a>, the former <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence_Summers">Treasury Secretary</a>. Those are two headliners.”

Writing, Awards, and Marriage

She is the author of Make Money in Any Economy which was published in 2001 and The 10 Laws of Enduring Success which was published in 2010.

Bartiromo has received awards like the News & Documentary Emmy in 2008 and Gracie Award for Greenspan broadcast on CNBC.  She is also an <a href="/biography/maria-bartiromo">award winner</a> for a documentary called “Inside the mind of Google” which was aired on CNBC. She is a <a href="/biography/maria-bartiromo">member</a> of the Board of Trustees in New York University, the Girl Scout Council Greater of New York, and the National American Italian Foundation.

She is married to Jonathan Steinberg, he is the son of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saul_Steinberg_(businessman)">Saul Steinberg</a> who is a financier. The couple has no kids but she says that she does not regret it because she needs to focus her attention on her career.

Parade magazine asked her how she felt about <a href="https://parade.com/275365/erinhill/maria-bartiromo-on-her-new-show-unexpected-friendship-with-joey-ramone-and-the-three-secrets-to-success/">a nickname she was given early on her career as <a href="/biography/maria-bartiromo">Money Honey</a></a>, “You know, I still think the same of it. I never really took it so seriously, and I don’t take myself that seriously. No one really calls me that. They don’t pick up the phone and say, ‘Hi, <a href="/biography/maria-bartiromo">Money Honey</a>, what’s going on?’ It was the way the media wanted to address me, but I never felt insulted by it. I think my viewers know who I am, and they know that when CEOs give me an interview, I’m going to ask the hard questions, I’m going to ask what viewers want to hear, and they know I’m not going to be shy about it. I never felt like it was an insult. In fact, I felt flattered to have been noticed and I still feel the same way.”

She was a good sport about it and never took it personal or offensive like some other people may have taken the nickname.
