There are some names synonymous with TV news, especially in the '90s. One of those names, at least for millennials, is Bryant Gumbel. He was a big part of The Today Show as a co-anchor. However, after he ended his time with the morning television show, he went on to host other shows. After decades in the TV news space, it's hard not to wonder what Bryant Gumbel's net worth is.
Over the course of his career, Bryant even made cameos in popular TV shows like Seinfeld and The Nanny, which further proved how far his reach went as a household name. His role as a full- and then part-time television host ended around 2023, when he stopped appearing on Live with Kelly and Mark, but Bryant's name and face are synonymous with on-air talent.
Bryant Gumbel's net worth is pretty impressive, but expected.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Bryant's net worth is $25 million. Per IMDb, Bryant started out as a sideline reporter at the 1976 AFC Championship Game. He continued to work on the sideline at other high-profile games, but his star also continued to rise as a reporter and anchor. He was the host of the pre-game show Major League Baseball: An Inside Look for 10 years, from 1979 until 1989. During that time, he also joined The Today Show.

"I've been with him for more than half my life," she said at the time. "Now, he's let a blonde from out of nowhere turn his head and woo him. I got married in a Catholic church, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer. I don't know how to undo my vows."
In 2002, a year after Bryant and June officially divorced, he married Hilary Gumbel.
