Today we’re talking about Susanna Reid’s net worth.
Susanna Reid’s reluctance to talk about her net worth on air…
A topic of increasing scrutiny in recent weeks is that of Susanna Reid’s net worth. The co-host of Good Morning Britain since 2014, Reid, 49, has been thrust into this spotlight by co-host Piers Morgan. It starts with a discussion about billionaire media mogul and now-former US presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg.
Quickly, the conversation devolves into personal wealth between the on-air pairing. It is a staple for the anchor of Good Morning Britain to become entangled in a good-natured ribbing with Morgan (though he has been known to go too far).
In this March squabble, Morgan states:
“You’re a millionaire, but you hate to admit it. If you die tomorrow of starvation from your vegan diet and we sold everything you have, you’d be a millionaire.”.
It is clear that Reid, a former presenter of BBC Breakfast, did not want to talk about the intimate details of personal wealth.
Piers is anything but bashful
Certainly, Susanna Victoria Reid is not as willing to discuss net worth and wealth as her on-air co-host is. During the same conversation, Morgan denied he was, in fact, one of Britain’s billionaires but he did say:
“However I have done well for myself.
“I came from a good, hardworking family where both parents worked seven days a week in a country pub to give us a living.
“They instilled in all of us a work ethic. That’s what life is really about.
“Then if you’re successful then people should enjoy and celebrate that, not want to scratch your car with a coin, which is a very British thing to do.”
Piers won’t let Susanna Reid’s net worth go
He continued to chide the accomplished Cardiff School of Journalism graduate into coming clean about her estimated net worth:
- Joking that she has scraped a coin down the side of his Aston Martin.
- Referring jeeringly to her time on BBC breakfast, alongside presenters Bill Turnbull and Charlie Stayt.
- Lamenting how difficult it must be to exist on the salary of BBC Breakfast presenter Dan Walker (a frequent morning show Twitter rival of Morgan’s).
Imagine being given a TV show & a newspaper column & using them both to pick on a woman who didn’t want to go out for a second drink with you 🤔 https://t.co/fPZ3Z5Rhth

“I need some advice from someone with a work ethic and who shops at Harrods.”
So what is Susanna Reid’s net worth and interests?
She may not want to talk about her wealth, but figures do exist regarding Susanna Reid net worth. Owing to £1 million salary rumours from when ITV first tried to sign her away from BBC Breakfast in 2013, some media estimate that net worth at around $3 million USD.
However, verified details are sketchy. Much of the speculation owes to previous earnings from the BBC stage of her career. It also hinges on her divorce after 16 years of marriage from journalist and sports correspondent Dominic Cotton.
Additionally, Reid was seen canoodling with Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish, all prior to a 2019 split. That aside, she remains a Crystal Palace fan. Additionally, she was
- A contestant on Strictly Come Dancing alongside Kevin Clifton.
- She also participated in their Children in Need special.
- A runner and London Marathon trainee.
- A frequent participant in several charitable causes.
A performing career starts in Croydon
Susanna Victoria Reid started life in Croydon, South London. From 1975 to 1981, Reid attended the independent Croham Hurst School in Croydon. At age 9 in 1979, her father (a management consultant) and mother (a nurse) divorced.
Spending her teenage years at Croydon High School and St Paul’s Girls School in London, Reid made her first foray into media on campus at the University of Bristol. Serving as the editor of student newspaper Epigram, Reid completed a Bachelor’s Degree in Politics, Philosophy and Law at Bristol in 1992.
Additionally, as a teenager, Reid also took roles as an actress on:
- A stage production of Agatha Christie’s Spider’s Web (1982).
- The Price, a Channel 4 program (1985).
- The soap opera Hollyoaks, in which she made a cameo appearance (2018).
Moving on to Broadcast Journalism
After leaving university, Reid embarked on a media career that has not slowed down across four decades despite marriage, divorce and three sons: Jack, Sam and Finn. Reid’s been visible across many roles in broadcast journalism for both television and radio. These include:
RADIO
- BBC Bristol Radio.
- Reporter, Radio 5 Live.
TELEVISION
- Reporter, BBC News 24.
- Co-Host, BBC Breakfast.
- Regular Newsreader and Fill-in Host, The Andrew Marr Show.
- Co-Host, Good Morning Britain.
- BBC Host, Oscars coverage (2009-2010).
Reid’s excellence on-air is recognised in the industry. The Television and Radio Industries Club honoured Reid as Newsreader of the Year for both 2014 and 2015. As far as personal branding, her life in Instagram pictures suggests Reid is an IG aficionado.
Good Morning Britain serves as a testament to the social media images platform alongside Morgan’s Instagram profile. From short hair to pet cats, Reid follows suit as an interesting follow.
