Add BollywoodShaadis on GoogleKaitlan Collins is still in the headlines after the US President mentioned her name in his speech. Soon, people started searching more about the famous American journalist and news anchor, who has been part of the CNN network. However, it is her lavish lifestyle that often leaves people intrigued. Let's know more about the CNN Journalist's salary.
Kaitlan Collins is the youngest-ever White House correspondent who joined the network in 2017. She has emerged as one of the brightest stars, and with it comes an impressive pay check. As per Celebrity Net Worth, the CNN anchor gets a whopping USD 3 million annually.
For many, it is not a surprise that Kaitlan has an impressive salary bracket, as she has made a name with her work over the last few years. She was even part of the Forbes 30 Under 30 back in 2019, and in 2024, her name was listed by Time 100 Next. Not only this, but Anderson Cooper also wrote a write-up for her profile and complimented her work.
The longtime CNN Anchor revealed that people come and go, but he doesn't worry for Kaitlan as she is permanent. Anderson wrote:
"So many people come and go in cable news that it can at times feel like an episode of 'Survivor,' but I'm not worried about Kaitlan. She will outwit, outplay, and outlast us all. She is that good, and she is only just getting started."
Wolf Blitzer once heaped praise on Kaitlan and stated that she is relentless and her work ethic is incredible. He said:
"She's relentless, in the best possible way. Her work ethic is second to none. She is incredibly committed. This idea of her anchoring a daily show and also being the chief White House correspondent shouldn't phase anyone. That's just par for the course for Kaitlan."
Talking about how Kaitlan splurges her huge pay check, she regularly wears some pricey brands and shows it off on her Instagram. There was a time when she wore USD 790 pants and a top worth USD 580 for an appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers. She even accessorized with Larroude heels and a coin pendant necklace. Another time we saw her wearing a skin-baring dress worth USD 1,300.
While we agree that not all her looks are owned by her for her appearances on TV, she owns some luxurious pieces in her wardrobe. Last year, we saw her flaunting a vintage bedazzled jacket from a designer store while vacationing in California in 2025. Not only this, she splurges on high-end staycations, as she had once shared photos from her vacation at the Avalon Hotel in Palm Springs, which costs between USD 385 and USD 873 a night.
Kaitlan Collins has been on the receiving end of President Donald Trump's insults where he made fun of her for not smiling. However, later, Collins was questioned about the dinner by host Jon Stewart during The Daily Show. She stated that it wasn't about her reaction. She said:
"I’ve always felt this, regardless of who's the president, whether it's Joe Biden, Donald Trump. It's really not about me, and I don't want it to be about my reaction. And so I think if you let it become about that, then it becomes a back and forth between the two of us. I just think in those moments, it's important to put the reminder back on the work, on the question, and on the non-answers that we get."
