Jackie DeAngelis: Age, Husband, Net Worth & Fox Business Career (2026)

Jackie DeAngelis is the Fox Business anchor who built a television career on an unusual mix: a Wall Street analyst’s training, a law degree, and 13 years as CNBC’s chief energy correspondent. She co-hosts The Big Money Show on weekdays from noon to 2 p.m. ET.

Readers usually arrive with three questions. How old is she? Is she married? What is she worth? The answers are less obvious than most sites suggest. Her birth year is misreported across the web, her marital status has never been confirmed, and no reputable outlet has published a net worth figure.

This guide sticks to what can be sourced and flags what can’t. It also covers the October 2026 Fox Business lineup changes and her recent lawsuit.

Key Takeaways

•       Jackie DeAngelis was born July 18, 1980, which makes her 46 in 2026. Several sites list 1987 or 1993, and the timeline rules both out.

•       She holds a Cornell degree (cum laude, class of 2002) and a Rutgers law degree, and speaks Mandarin and Farsi.

•       She joined Fox Business in April 2019 after CNBC and a short stint at Yahoo Finance.

•       No husband has ever been publicly named or confirmed, and no reliable net worth figure exists.

Who Is Jackie DeAngelis?

Jackie DeAngelis is an American financial journalist who co-hosts The Big Money Show on Fox Business Network. She is also a licensed attorney, a former technology analyst at Oaktree Capital Management, and a stage 1 breast cancer survivor who speaks publicly about early screening.

Fox’s own biography credits her with years of energy and commodities coverage, interviews with figures such as OPEC secretary generals and a U.S. Commerce Secretary, and regular guest spots on Outnumbered and Varney & Co.

She is in the news for two reasons. Fox announced on October 1, 2026 that she will remain on The Big Money Show through a network-wide reshuffle, and she filed a lawsuit against Whole Foods in August 2026. Both are covered below.

How Old Is Jackie DeAngelis?

Jackie DeAngelis is 46 years old. IMDb lists her birth date as July 18, 1980, in Alpine, New Jersey. Fox Business does not publish a birthday in her official bio, so the date itself rests on IMDb, which is partly user-edited. The birth year is on firmer ground, as the checks below show.

The Four-Anchor Age Check

Instead of trusting a single listing, you can test a birth year against independent points in her public timeline:

Anchor	What it shows	Birth year it implies
Cornell alumni profile calls her “’02”	Graduated in 2002	About 1980
Age at her June 2021 breast cancer diagnosis	She was 40, after her first mammogram	1980 or 1981
SurvivorNet profile, autumn 2023	Described her as 43	1980
Lawsuit coverage, September 2026	Describes her as 46	1980

All four point to the same year. Only 1980 fits every one.

Why Some Sites List 1987 or 1993

A number of aggregator pages give her birth year as 1987, 1993, or even 1994. Those dates would make her a child when she graduated from Cornell and a teenager when she began her CNBC career. None of those pages cite a source, and several contradict themselves within the same article. Treat them as errors.

Jackie DeAngelis’s Early Life, Family, and Education

Growing Up in Alpine, New Jersey

Alpine is a small borough in Bergen County, New Jersey, and it is where IMDb places her birth. Beyond that, she has shared very little about her childhood. Her parents and siblings are private individuals, and no reliable source details her upbringing, so this article doesn’t speculate. Her high school is not documented in any verified source.

Cornell and Rutgers Law

DeAngelis graduated cum laude from Cornell University with a bachelor’s degree in Asian studies and history. Cornell’s College of Arts & Sciences lists her as a 2002 alumna. She then earned a Juris Doctor from Rutgers School of Law.

She has said she never intended to practice law. In a 2023 interview she explained that law school trained her to argue one side while anticipating the other’s rebuttal, which she says carries over into building balanced news reports. She also passed the bar exam, and her X bio still lists “attorney” among her identifiers.

Mandarin, Farsi, and the Asia Connection

Fox Business states she is fluent in Mandarin and Farsi. That fits her Asian studies degree and her later focus on energy markets and the Middle East. It is also a detail most profiles mention without connecting to her beat. Languages spoken in oil-producing and emerging markets are directly useful to someone who spent over a decade covering energy.

Jackie DeAngelis’s Career: From Oaktree to Fox Business

Oaktree Capital and the Move to CNBC

DeAngelis began her career as a technology analyst at Oaktree Capital Management, where she looked for investment opportunities in emerging markets. She has said she liked the content but found the number-crunching isolating. She wanted a job with more contact with people, and financial news let her keep covering markets while talking to sources.

She joined CNBC around 2006. According to the Cornell profile, she started as a financial researcher and writer. On Friday nights after broadcasts ended, she stayed in the studio to write scripts and film practice segments at the anchor desk. One executive saw potential and another said she still needed work, so she kept rebuilding her reel until she got on air.

Off camera, she served as CNBC’s Director of Strategic Programming and Development. Fox Business notes that Investing in America: A CNBC Town Hall Event with President Obama was nominated for an Emmy during that work. She also produced network exclusives featuring Warren Buffett, Timothy Geithner, and Bill Clinton.

Bahrain and the Arab Spring, 2010–2011

Her first on-air job was in the Middle East. From 2010 to 2011, she was stationed in Bahrain for CNBC International, interviewing OPEC Secretary General Abdalla El-Badri and Saudi Arabian Finance Minister Ibrahim Al-Assaf, and reporting on the Arab Spring’s impact on markets. Colleagues reportedly thought the move was risky. She has since given the advice “never take no for an answer” to young women entering broadcasting.

Chief Energy Correspondent and Futures Now

Back in New York and New Jersey, she became CNBC’s chief energy correspondent and anchored Futures Now, an online commodities program. Her coverage included the economic effects of Hurricanes Harvey and Irma and the Dakota Access Pipeline protests. She also interviewed a second OPEC secretary general, Mohammed Sanusi Barkindo, and asked Bill Clinton questions at a California airport before his flight. She has named both, along with Tom Brady discussing the launch of his TB12 fitness center, as career highlights.

Yahoo Finance, 2018–2019

In December 2018, she left CNBC for Yahoo Finance, anchoring the midday program The Ticker. Guests included U.S. Shell President Gretchen Watkins and JPMorgan chief economist Anthony Chan. The stint was short, ending when Fox called a few months later.

Joining Fox Business in 2019

DeAngelis joined Fox Business Network as a financial correspondent in April 2019. In May of that year she presented a five-day series tied to the network’s capitalism-versus-socialism town hall, and in August 2020 she interviewed Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross. She became a regular guest on Outnumbered and Varney & Co. and a substitute host across the network’s programming.

In January 2023, she joined Brian Brenberg and Taylor Riggs as a co-host of the new The Big Money Show, which she has described as the place “where Wall Street, Main Street and Washington converge.”

The Big Money Show and the October 2026 Fox Business Shake-Up

On October 1, 2026, Fox News Media announced a weekday schedule overhaul that takes effect October 12. For DeAngelis, the headline is simple: she stays on The Big Money Show, but the people sitting next to her are changing.

Taylor Riggs, Brian Brenberg, and Dagen McDowell are moving to a new three-hour morning program, Big Money in the Morning (6 to 9 a.m. ET), alongside Barron’s Josh Schafer. McDowell and Brenberg’s evening show, The Bottom Line, ends its run, with Kudlow encores taking over the 6 p.m. slot. Almost every online biography of DeAngelis, including the Fox Business page as of this writing, still lists the old four-person lineup.

Who Co-Hosts Now

	Before October 12, 2026	From October 12, 2026
Show	The Big Money Show, noon to 2 p.m. ET	Same time slot
Anchor	Jackie DeAngelis	Jackie DeAngelis
Co-hosts	Taylor Riggs, Brian Brenberg, Dagen McDowell	Rotating: Cheryl Casone, Marcus Lemonis, Lou Basenese
Morning show	Mornings with Maria	Big Money in the Morning (Riggs, Brenberg, McDowell, Schafer)

Noon to 2 p.m. Eastern falls in the early evening for readers in the UK and Europe.

The Bartiromo Context

The reshuffle follows Maria Bartiromo’s exit from Fox Business, which the network announced in September 2026. Her last on-air appearance on Mornings with Maria was reportedly August 7, and several Fox Business personalities filled in, including DeAngelis, who is reported to have hosted on August 20.

Media reporter Dylan Byers posted that DeAngelis was likely under consideration for a Bartiromo slot. That was speculation, and the lineup Fox announced keeps her on The Big Money Show rather than moving her. This section may need updating after October 12.

Is Jackie DeAngelis Married? What Is Known About Her Husband and Personal Life

Jackie DeAngelis has never publicly confirmed a husband, and no reliable source has named one. Her marital status is best described as unconfirmed, which is not the same as single.

What Is Confirmed

Some sites say she is married, others say she is unmarried, and a few add children. None cite a source, and they contradict each other, so none of it can be treated as fact. What she has shared about her personal life centers on her health and her dog. Her X bio reads “Attorney, breast cancer survivor, Friday’s mom.”

Friday the Dog

In January 2023, she told Talking Biz News that she had adopted her puppy, Friday, about a month earlier. She had wanted a dog for years but felt her schedule wouldn’t allow it. Landing The Big Money Show gave her a more predictable routine, and her cancer experience pushed her to stop waiting. Friday appears regularly on her Instagram.

Jackie DeAngelis’s Breast Cancer Story

DeAngelis was diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer in June 2021, at age 40, after her first mammogram. She has said there was no breast cancer in her family and that she had no symptoms.

Her doctors presented two options: a lumpectomy followed by further treatment, or a mastectomy. She chose a double mastectomy and later had reconstruction. By her own account she returned to work 13 days after surgery, a detail widely repeated since SurvivorNet’s profile.

Recovery took longer than the return to work suggested. In early 2023, about 18 months after her first surgery, she said she was only beginning to feel like herself again. She also said she spent a long time searching for a cause, and her surgeon’s answer was that the cause isn’t known. Her advice now is to focus on healing rather than blame.

She talks about it on air and in interviews to push routine screening, saying early detection saved her life. Screening schedules vary by age and risk, so the right starting point is a conversation with your own doctor.

Jackie DeAngelis’s Whole Foods Lawsuit: What the Complaint Alleges

In August 2026, DeAngelis sued Whole Foods in Manhattan Supreme Court. The suit was filed August 20 and first reported by the New York Post in early September. Everything below comes from the complaint as reported by news outlets, and none of it has been proven.

•       The incident: She alleges that in September 2023, while shopping at the Whole Foods at 10 Columbus Circle, a black pit bull bit her left hand.

•       The injury: She says it required surgery and left permanent scarring and reduced mobility.

•       The dog’s owner: Reports say the owner left with the dog before police arrived.

•       The legal claim: She argues the dog was not a service animal and that the store failed to reasonably enforce its own policies on animals. Whole Foods permits only service animals recognized under the Americans with Disabilities Act.

•       What she wants: Unspecified damages for medical expenses and emotional distress.

Whole Foods declined to comment on pending litigation, and Fox did not comment. The filing came just under three years after the alleged incident, which is consistent with New York’s general three-year window for personal injury claims, though the coverage doesn’t say that was the reason. This is general context, not legal advice.

Jackie DeAngelis’s Net Worth

There is no verified figure for Jackie DeAngelis’s net worth. Neither she nor Fox Business has disclosed it, and I found no estimate from a major financial publication. Every number online comes from aggregator sites that don’t show their work, and net worth figures change and may be out of date by the time you read this.

Estimates Compared: What the Numbers Are Worth

Source type	Reported figure	When published	Reliability
Entertainment site (BOL News)	About $700,000	Around 2023	Unsourced
Bio aggregator	$1 million to $1.5 million	Around 2022	Unsourced
Net worth blog	$1 million to $3 million	January 2026	States its own figure is not public
Bio aggregator	$1.5 million to $2 million	2026	One page also gives $3 million to $4 million
Bio aggregator	$2.2 million to $2.8 million	January 2026	Unsourced
Several aggregators	$1 million to $5 million	2026	Widest range, unsourced

The estimates run from roughly $700,000 to $5 million and are not independent of each other, since many sites copy one another. A fair reading is “likely in the low millions, unconfirmed.”

Salary: What Can and Can’t Be Said

Her Fox Business salary is not public. Aggregators claim figures anywhere from $80,000 to $500,000 with no source, so none are repeated here. What is documented is her career path: Oaktree, about 13 years at CNBC, Yahoo Finance, and a role as a Fox Business anchor since 2019. A speakers bureau listing also exists for her, but fees aren’t public. There is no reliable basis for breaking her net worth into salary, savings, or investments, so this article doesn’t invent one.

Conclusion

Jackie DeAngelis has one of the more unusual résumés in financial television: Wall Street analyst, attorney, 13 years at CNBC, and now a daily anchor chair at Fox Business. The facts that matter most are the ones sources can support. She is 46, she remains on The Big Money Show through the October 2026 reshuffle, she has been open about her breast cancer story, and her husband status and net worth are not publicly confirmed. Her lawsuit against Whole Foods is still only a set of allegations. Anyone searching for Jackie DeAngelis can treat the confirmed details here as reliable and the unconfirmed ones as exactly that.
