2022 Andrea Mitchell net worth
Andrea Mitchell was born in New Rochelle, New York, United States on 30 October 1946 (age 75). She grew up in a Jewish household. Andrea is the child of Cecile and Sydney Mitchell (Rubenstein). Her father was the CEO and a partial owner of a Manhattan-based furniture manufacturing firm. Additionally, he served as president of the Beth El Synagogue in New Rochelle for forty years. In Manhattan, her mother was an administrator at the New York Institute of Technology.
In the 1970s, Mitchell’s brother Arthur and his wife, Nancy, relocated to British Columbia. In the 2000s, he became a member of the Legislative Assembly of Yukon and the leader of the Yukon Liberal Party while holding dual American and Canadian citizenship. Andrea Mitchell completed high school in New Rochelle. In 1967, she graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in English literature from the University of Pennsylvania. She worked as news director of student radio station WXPN at Penn. After graduating, she remained in Philadelphia and was recruited as a reporter at KYW radio.
During Mayor Frank Rizzo’s administration, she came to fame as the station’s City Hall reporter and also reported for sister station KYW-TV. Andrea Mitchell went to Washington, D.C.’s CBS-affiliated WTOP (now WUSA) in 1976. Two years later, Mitchell became a general reporter for NBC’s network news organization. In 1979, she was designated the energy reporter for NBC News and reported on the energy crisis of the late 1970s and the Three Mile Island nuclear catastrophe. Mitchell covered the White House from 1981 to 1988, when he became the lead legislative reporter.

Mitchell chronicled her career as a journalist in her 2005 book Talking Back… to Presidents, Dictators, and Assorted Scoundrels (ISBN 978-0-143-03873-3). Since 2008, Mitchell has presented Andrea Mitchell Reports on NBC’s news and opinion channel MSNBC. It airs each weekday at 12:00 p.m. ET.
Controversies
Plame affair: Mitchell was questioned by the Federal Bureau of Investigation following a report in The Washington Post (“Bush Administration Is Focus of Inquiry CIA Agent’s Identity Was Leaked to the Media” by Mike Allen and Dana Priest, The Washington Post, September 28, 2003) that she had leaked Valerie Plame’s identity. Mitchell was on the subpoena list as a person of interest, despite not having testified before the investigative grand jury or during I. Lewis Libby’s trial.
In October 2003, on the Capitol Report, Mitchell made a statement that Libby’s defense interpreted to mean it was widely known among journalists that Joe Wilson’s wife worked for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Mitchell later clarified her position in response to a question about how widely known it was in Washington that Wilson’s wife worked for the CIA: “It was widely known amongst those of us who cover the intelligence community and who were actively engaged in trying to track down the truth.” Until Bob Novak published it, I was unaware of her exact job at the CIA and that she played a secret role regarding weapons of mass devastation.
During a press conference in Khartoum, Sudan, in July 2005, Andrea Mitchell was forcefully removed from the room after asking Omar al-Bashir tough questions. These included, “Can you explain why the violence persists?” (referring to the genocide in the Darfur state of Sudan) and “Can you explain why the government supports the militias?” Why should Americans trust your claims? Two armed security officers then seized her and roughly pushed her out of the room. After the event, Mitchell said, “It is our responsibility to inquire. They may always respond with “no comment” However, dragging a reporter out for asking is unconscionable.”
Prior to the event, Sudanese authorities were hesitant to let American newspaper and television reporters to the Sudanese press pool. Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs at the State Department, Sean McCormack, told his Sudanese counterpart, “I’ll relay your request to prohibit media from asking questions, but that’s it. There is a free press.” The Sudanese equivalent of McCormack said, “There is no press freedom here.”
During an interview on MSNBC on June 5, 2008, Andrea Mitchell referred to the residents of southwest Virginia as “rednecks.” On June 9, she apologized on television, stating, “I owe the folks of Bristol, Virginia an apology for something idiotic I said last week. I was attempting to explain, based on reports from Democratic strategists, why Barack Obama was campaigning in southwest Virginia, but without citation or explanation, I used a derogatory word that strategists sometimes use to disparage an entire neighborhood. No justifications, I’m really sorry.”
Mitchell and contributor Chris Cillizza chuckled when the film was presented on Andrea Mitchell Reports, referring to a misconception that George H. W. Bush was unfamiliar with a grocery scanner during his 1992 campaign. She speculated that this may be Romney’s “grocery store scanning moment.”
Andrea Mitchell said, “I get the impression that Mitt Romney has not been too many roadside Wawas in Pennsylvania.” The whole tape places his remarks in the context of his argument that Wawa’s “touchtone keypads” (touchscreens) demonstrate efficiency in the private sector contrasted to his claim that an ophthalmologist had to file numerous 33-page government forms to change his residence.
The next day, Mitchell addressed short accusations from the Republican National Committee and Romney’s campaign. Mitchell introduced the complete tape by noting, “Both the RNC and Romney’s team contacted out to us, indicating that Romney had more to say on that visit about government bureaucracy and private sector innovation. We missed our opportunity to play it, but here it is now.”

Mitchell said in February 2019 that the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising was directed against “the Polish and Nazi administrations.” She issued an apology on Twitter for her remark. Mitchell was prosecuted in a Polish court by the Polish Institute of National Remembrance for claiming that Poland had a part in the Holocaust.
Husband
Andrea Mitchell married her second husband, Alan Greenspan, on April 6, 1997, after a protracted engagement. Her spouse was the chair of the Federal Reserve. However, she wed her first husband, Gil Jackson, in 1970; their union terminated in the mid-1970s in divorce. Mitchell disclosed on September 7, 2011 that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer at an earlier doctor’s appointment. It was diagnosed and treated early on. Midway through 2022, Andrea Mitchell and her husband Alan Greenspan remained married and had no children.
