Maria Bartiromo is out on the street.

The former Fox News anchor and ex-CNBC Money Honey has sold the townhouse she shares with her husband.

Located in one of New York’s most expensive neighborhoods, the home — which she shared with money manager Jonathan Steinberg — sold for $7 million according to CrainsNewYork.

Steinberg, whose firm is called Wisdom Tree, is said to be worth around $230 million. His father was Saul Steinberg, a famous and incredibly wealthy asset manager who lived a very high and public life and died in 2012. By contrast, Jonathan is very low profile, almost non existent, while Maria became more and more famous on Fox as a Roger Ailes pet.

Maria left Fox on September 2nd after it was reported she may have shared network information with the Trump White House. Her departure and its circumstances have never been confirmed other than Fox saying she was gone after more than a dozen years.

Crains New York says it looks like the couple — who’ve been married since 1999 — may have lost money on the sale of the house, which was not listed or marketed. According to Crain’s, they paid $6.5 million in 2007, or the equivalent of $10.5 million in 2026 dollars when adjusting for inflation.

The new owners, the report says, paid cash. So it seems like this is a rushed deal. The Steinbergs don’t have any other addresses, like in the Hamptons or Palm Beach, all of which makes this a little odd. Where have they gone? Are they even still together? Sales such as these often indicate a change in marital status.
