She’s worked with numerous prominent companies throughout her career, and her experience has led her to various opportunities. As she continues her endeavors, it is expected that her wealth will also continue to increase.

Early Life and Education

Very little is known about Leslie’s childhood, except that she was raised in Leawood by her parents, and had a relatively normal upbringing. She enjoyed growing up in her home town, and after matriculating from high school, she enrolled at the University of Illinois, studying for a degree in journalism and political science, graduating as Magna Cum Laude.

During her time at the university, she developed a strong interest for the financial sector, and so decided to further her studies by enrolling at New York University for a Master’s degree in Business. She majored in finance and global business from the university’s Stern School of Business, then continued her studies, realizing that she could combine both fields and enrolled at Columbia University. The school is one of the most selective colleges in the United States and the second most selective in the Ivy League after Harvard. Numerous alumni of the school have gone on to become prominent in their respective fields. She completed another master’s degree, this time in journalism, and graduated with honors.

Career Beginnings

After completing her university courses, Picker began working with the Fox Business Network for which she was hired as a booker. The television news channel is owned by the Fox News Group, and is focused on financial and business-related news. The company is run by the executive vice president of Fox News, and the channel is available to over 74 million households in the US. She stayed there for only seven months, and later mentioned that she only took the job because it allowed her to stay in New York.

In 2011, she began working with Bloomberg News as a segment reporter. The international news agency is a division of Bloomberg L.P., and its content is distributed throughout numerous platforms including television, radio, and Bloomberg Markets. She served as a producer for two years before she was promoted to a reporter role with a focus on economy and economic matters. She stayed for a total of four years with the company, before deciding to move.

Recent Endeavors

In 2015, she began working with The New York Times as a deals reporter, serving in that capacity for one and a half years. The newspaper company is one of the most internationally known publications, with the paper winning 127 Pulitzer Prizes, more than any other company of its kind. It is ranked 17^th in the world by circulation, and holds second place in that category in the US. Since the 1970s, the paper has expanded to include various special sections such as business, arts, science, sports, travel, and many others.

Leslie’s continued exposure led her to be noticed by the company CNBC, which hired her in 2017, to start working for the network’s television and digital reporting platforms. The channel is owned by NBCUniversal, and focuses on the US as well as international financial markets. It follows the end of business day reports as well as reports on non-trading days. They also offer documentaries focused on business and finance while also airing a few reality shows. She began covering reports on private equity and hedge funds for the company. She had to relocate to New Jersey for the job, though it wasn’t much of a problem as she was still in New York and her family was also amenable to the decision.

Personal Life and Social Media

For her personal life it is known that Picker married Evan Haedicke in 2015, after four years of dating; the two met on a blind date set up by a mutual friend. Around the time, she was still a student while he was just beginning his career in the finance industry. He proposed at her favorite frozen yoghurt store, after reciting a poem about their relationship. The two were married in Scottsdale, Arizona at the Four Seasons Resort. He is a Jew though she did not convert to Judaism for the wedding. She also decided to keep her maiden name, as she had already established her career through her last name.

Similar to numerous television personalities and journalists, she is highly active online through accounts on social media. She has an account on Instagram in which she posts a lot of photos travelling alongside her husband. She also posts a lot of behind the scenes photos of her work and a few photos of her with co-workers or with her sister. She also has a Twitter account in which she gives updates on the latest in finance. She also promotes upcoming broadcasts through the platform.

Quotes

#	Quote
1	[on David Schwimmer, her co-star of the play "Some Girls"] It's lovely. He's not at all starry. He doesn't take a solo curtain call. He likes to take his gloves off and get his hands dirty. He's a very committed, hard-working theatre actor so we're just like working any other group of actors in that way. Of course, that's not necessarily how other people see it. A friend of mine rang the box office to collect a ticket I'd reserved for her and the girl said, "who's Lesley Manville?"
2	[on Maleficent (2014)]: It's a massive epic Disney film based on Sleeping Beauty starring Angelina Jolie in the title role. Imelda Staunton, Juno Temple and myself play the three pixies. They are hilarious. It was just the most happy, happy time. Some of the time in the film we're life-sized, but for the rest of it we're little ditty pixies. It was done by motion capture, so we spent three weeks of filming flying around Pinewood studios, with the Cirque du Soleil people strapping us in and tumbling us in the air. It was just fantastic. It's going to come out this Summer and there's going to be a doll of me that you'll be able to buy at the Disney shop! It's amazing that Imelda and I go from epic Mike Leigh plays and films to being pixie Disney dolls!
3	[on having portrayed the mother of Matt Smith, James Corden and Colin Morgan]: All those boys have done rather well since they worked with me as their mother. They owe me big time. They're all wealthier than me - they can have a whip round.
