A shark among a sea of male journalists, Bartiromo had to fight her way to the top.
If anything, it made her stronger.
Then, in 2014, Bartiromo switched things up and went to work for Fox News.
There, Bartiromo transformed intoone of Donald Trump’s favorite anchors, complicating Bartiromo’s reputation for some.
Here’s what else you should know about the controversial Fox News host.

She said the difference is “night and day.”
Nevertheless, she kept going.
Bartiromo was actually broadcasting from the New York Stock Exchange on that horrific day in 2001.
“We saw the first plane go into the first building on television.
Tell us what’s happening.'
“And we saw one of the buildings on fire, and we were all stunned.”
“Right in front of my eyes, the second plane came and crashed into the second building.
And I turned to him, and before I could even finish saying, ‘What do you mean?’
I knew what he meant.”
She was stunning, good at her job, she could play hardball with the financiers.
Bartiromo was seemingly a natural for the job, but things eventually took a turn for the worse.
But, by strike number three, she was out of the job.
Nevertheless, Bartiromo picked herself up and remembered the work principles her parents taught her.
“Let’s start there.
just go through the facts.
Characterize what took place.”

Farber was seemingly at a loss with what to do with the meat, but Bartiromo jumped into action.
and I thought, ‘Who is this person emailing me?
It’s crazy, he’s calling himself Joey Ramone,'” Bartiromo toldThe Guardian.
“Sure enough it was him and we developed this friendship.
And he was attuned to the markets.
He really understood his own investment portfolio.
Joey Ramone was a fantastic investor.”
Ramone and Bartiromo became so close that he eventually wrote a song about her.
It’s a tremendous tribute.
I just love that.
It’s great, just great,” she said ofthe tune.

“I have no idea at some point if I will.

“Success is knowing yourself an inner comfort and inner contentment,” she explained.
“I do [have it],” she added.
It’s not hard to understand why.
As the journalist once toldNew York Magazine, work is pretty much her life.
“I love what I do,” she admitted.
“But I have not been able to figure out the balance in life.”
To say that Bartiromo has found success in a grave understatement.
