The Net Worth of Lee Ann McAdoo
How rich is Lee Ann McAdoo? As of mid-2019, sources inform us of a net worth that is over $1 million, earned through a successful career in broadcasting. She also works in video production and has done other projects thanks to the opportunities provided to her by her company. 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 Lee Ann’s life before her rise to fame, as she has not shared a lot of details regarding her family, childhood, and education. It is known that she was raised by her parents in Sarasota, Florida where she spent most of her youth. She grew up with two siblings – brother Shane and sister Jennifer, and is of part-Irish descent. There are rumours that she is a Mormon, but it has not been confirmed
After matriculating from high school, she set her sights on a degree in broadcast journalism, enrolling at the University of Texas at Austin. The university was founded in 1883 and is the flagship institution of the University of Texas system. It is the third university in the American south to be elected into the Association of American Universities. The school boasts the eighth largest single campus enrollment in the country, having over 50,000 students annually. The school is known for its award winning faculty, also housing seven museums and 17 libraries.
Career Beginnings and InfoWars
After completing her education, McAdoo began taking journalism projects and started publishing reports on her own, creating her own blog and website under the online alias Bohemian Lee as a means for her to write independently. However, she eventually moved on from these endeavors, shutting the website down as she got a job, now under her own name. In 2013, she was hired to become a reporter and anchor for InfoWars.
InfoWars is a fake news and conspiracy theory website, leaning towards the far-right, established in 1999 by Alex Jones. Most of its content and shows are filmed in an undisclosed location near Austin, Texas. Despite it being known as a conspiracy theory website, it still receives over 10 million monthly visits, making it stronger than some mainstream news websites. The website has been notorious for publishing stories that have led to the harassment of many of the people they’ve featured. Its owner has also had a share of controversies, such as spreading conspiracies about the US orchestrating the 9/11 attacks, and the Sandy Hook shootings.
Work with InfoWars
While the company itself has received a lot of negative attention, Lee Ann joined the website due to a shared interest in conspiracies and astrology, and became the interviewer and co-host of a program called “Nightly News”. In 2015, she became involved in a scandal alongside InfoWars owner Jones with information surfacing that Jones wife had already filed for divorce two years prior. It was the same year that Lee Ann was hired and many believed that she is the reason for their split. A lot of critics also put down the website for hiring her, as they believed she was only someone that could add sex appeal to their reports.
Information from the divorce papers stated that Jones had an affair with a female co-worker that everyone in his company knew of. The following year, Jones and Lee Ann came forward denouncing the rumors, stating that they did not have a relationship. Despite that, she still took a break from work to help quell the negative attention she’d received. She returned and worked for another year with the company, but then left to move to Florida to take care of her grandmother. Since then, she has gone back to writing blog posts, and set up her own website once more.
Personal Life and Social Media
For her personal life, not much is known in terms of McAdoo’s romantic relationships. Aside from her supposed affair with Alex Jones, she has not shared anything about having a relationship. She loves Chihuahua dogs and has owned at least three during her lifetime. Many of her critics believe that Lee Ann McAdoo is not her real name, as she’s been known to use numerous aliases in the past, apparently to help hide information about herself from the public.

This article is a joke and full of so many falsehoods aka FAKE NEWS that I couldn’t imagine anyone wanting to copy it.
I agree, Fred. This article was loaded with falsehoods and outright lies. It is obvious the reporter was simply regurgitating lies and fake news. He/she failed at being a true journalist and getting facts BEFORE print, but that is typical of modern so-called journalists.
keep up the good work Lee Ann ….
Hilarious how stupid and brainwashed the article writer is. Calls I forward fake news but 10 million people visit the site. Must have some semblance of truth if that many flock to it. Unlike real fake news in the mainstream as it’s owned by 3 corporations that this dumb slave trusts corporation. What a fucking idiot. go watch a few hours or read for a few hours before you spew ignorance. At this point you’re a traitor and you don’t want to meet me when the civil war starts
I love how these leftist sites disguised as online encyclopedias spin their political slants as truth to the masses. You lost me when you declared infowars as a “fake news” website without any proof of these allegations. Yet CNN, MSNBC, Snopes etc are legitimate news sources??? 🤣🤣 Infowars does the job the independent press as defined by the founders should be doing. The majority of “news outlets” today are just propaganda arms of political parties.
You are the enemy of the people, I pray judgment is coming for you and your ilk.
Whew, lads. I can smell the Keystone light, body odor and baseless outrage coming from this comment section. Grow up and listen to news based in reality, not a fat Texan getting high and making things up.
For those that call her “fake news”, do you have any evidence to support your claim or is everybody supposed to “just know”?
