Gayle King, an author and broadcast journalist, is regarded as one of America’s top television personalities. Her role as editor-at-large for O, The Oprah Magazine, and her co-hosting role on CBS News’ morning show CBS Mornings have helped her become a household figure in the United States and around the world.
Her media career began at WJZ-TV in Baltimore, where she worked as a production assistant. Her journey would cross with that of famed media icon Oprah Winfrey, who was a show host at the channel. She eventually relocated to Kansas City to work as a weekend anchor and general assignment reporter at WDAF-TV.
Since then, King has risen to prominence in the media, ranking among the world’s most famous media figures. She is an entrepreneur in addition to being a media personality.
The following are some of the businesses she purportedly has an interest in.
1. GaBBY Bows
GaBBY Bows, founded by 14-year-old South Carolina CEO Gabby Goodwin, will receive $50,000 from King in 2021. In addition to wash-and-style goods, the company now offers plant-based lifestyle items, retail outlets, girls’ salons, and business mentoring programs.
2. Real Estate
King increased her real estate assets in 2008 when she purchased a $7 million Manhattan penthouse. The property measures 2,500 square feet and includes amenities such as a 750-square-foot wraparound patio and two fireplaces. King owns over nine real estate properties, from which she generates monthly rental income.
