Dan Abrams is a media entrepreneur and television presenter who serves as the chief legal correspondent for ABC News. He also hosts The Dan Abrams Show: Where Politics Meets The Law on SiriusXM's P.O.T.U.S. channel.
The veteran media personality was born on May 20, 1966, to attorney father Floyd Abrams and mother, Efrat Abrams. He attended Columbia Law School, where he received his Juris Doctor degree.
He started his professional venture as a reporter for Court TV in 1994. Later, in 1997, he joined NBC as a Chief Legal Correspondent for NBC News and subsequently moved to NBC-owned channel MSNBC.
At MSNBC, he hosted the show The Abrams Report and held the position of General Manager from 2006 to 2007.
Abrams Joined ABC News in 2011
In February 2011, after working for over a decade on NBC, Abrams joined ABC News to become the Chief Legal Analyst for the network. He also served as a substitute anchor on Good Morning America in his initial years.
At ABC, he continues to work as Chief Legal Analyst as well as anchors the late-night show Nightline and appears as a regular contributor on the talk show, The View.
Besides, Abrams was also associated with the A&E channel as a host of the show, Live PD, from October 2016 to June 2020.
How Much Is His Net Worth?
Apart from his salary, the Manhattan native also collects an impressive amount of revenue from his entertainment and news websites.
He has launched various news and entertainment websites such as Mediaite, Gossip Cop, The Braiser, and Law & Crime.
Likewise, his book 'Lincoln’s Last Trial: The Murder Case That Propelled Him to the Presidency,' released in June 2018, was listed in the top ten New York Times Bestseller list — and that must have also contributed his net worth.
The other popular book, authored by Abrams, is 'Man Down: Proof Beyond a Reasonable Doubt That Women Are Better Cops, Drivers, Gamblers, Spies, World Leaders, Beer Tasters, Hedge Fund Managers and Just About Everything Else.'Â
The book was named the Washington Post bestseller and translated into various languages such as Russian, Indonesian, Croatian, and Swedish.
With his involvement in multiple professional ventures, Abrams has accumulated an outstanding net worth. According to Celebrity Net Worth, he has a net worth of $25 million.
He Was Diagnosed with Cancer in 2003
Abrams suffered from a major health issue when he was diagnosed with testicular cancer in July 2003.
Later, the ABC News journalist successfully became cancer-free after his tumor was removed from his testicles and lymph nodes from his abdomen by surgery.
In September 2004, the media personality released a statement and announced the news publicly for the first time.
Today I spoke publicly, for the first time about what had been a very private matter... my bout with testicular cancer.
He added, "Until now, it is a topic I had only discussed with a handful of friends and family. But for Sean Kimerling, I think I would have kept it that way."
Abrams Has a Son with His Partner
Abrams has been in a relationship with his long-term partner, Florinka Pesenti, since 2009. Pesenti served as the director of public relations for Gucci and was a winner of the reality show The Amazing Race 3 in 2002.
Together, they also share a son, Everett Floyd Abrams, who was born in 2012.
That being said, the television presenter is yet to confirm if he is already married to his partner or not. Not only that, Abrams is a little more private about her, as he rarely shows her even on his social media. In contrast, he often posts pictures with his son.
According to the New York Times, the family of three resides in Manhattan.
