Anderson Cooper & Benjamin Maisani

The current host of his eponymous news show on CNN, Anderson Cooper, hails from the prominent Vanderbilt family. His mom, heiress Gloria Vanderbilt, is the great-granddaughter of shipping and railroad tycoon Cornelius Vanderbilt. Anyway, Anderson now has a net worth of $200 million. With continued success in journalism, it’s not a surprise that his credit reports are also spiraling upward.

Anderson has never married, but he was in a long-term relationship with nightclub mogul Benjamin Maisani. After nine years of being together, the duo decided to split amicably. “We are still family to each other,” the journalist revealed in an interview. The former couple’s son, Wyatt Morgan Cooper, was born in April 2020 via surrogacy. Though Benjamin and Anderson are no longer romantically involved, they will continue their plans of co-parenting their child. “I want him (Benjamin) to be Wyatt’s family,” Anderson added.
