Lou Dobbs, the influential conservative commentator and cable news host, has passed away at the age of 78.

Dobbs’s legacy is marked by his long tenure as a prominent voice in conservative media, particularly through his shows on CNN and Fox Business Network, where he became known for his conservative opinions on economic and immigration issues.

Dobbs began his career in journalism with CNN at its inception in 1980, where he hosted “Moneyline,” a program that focused on financial news. He left CNN in 2009 but returned to prominence with “Lou Dobbs Tonight” on Fox Business from 2011 until 2021.

His tenure at Fox was characterised by vocal support for Trump and claims regarding the 2020 presidential election, which ultimately led to his departure from the network amid a wave of lawsuits related to misinformation.

The anchor’s net worth

Celebrity Net Worth reports that the former television host was worth $20 million at the time of his passing.
