Baldwin was dissatisfied with CNN’s male-dominated management.

The 41-year-old television host has a net worth of $10 million and an annual salary of $4 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. Her substantial net worth and salary are the result of a long and hardworking career and experience. However, Baldwin appeared dissatisfied when she discussed male-dominated leadership, salary disparities, and gender disparities in the CNN network during an episode of the On the Issues With Michele Goodwin podcast in April 2021. She stated that wage disparities between men and women had a direct impact on female anchors’ salaries, as the network’s highest-paid anchors were mostly men.

“I’ve been anchoring for over ten years, the majority of that time for two hours in the afternoon,” she explained. “And, you know, at the time, the most powerful and highest-paid anchors on our network were men.” In 2018, The Wrap reported that CNN had more male anchors on-air than female anchors when compared to competitor networks. Furthermore, during a CNN Newsroom episode in June 2018, Baldwin discussed how no females were included on the list of the world’s 100 highest-paid athletes.
