So, the other day I was kinda curious about this Amanda Balionis person. I’d seen her on CBS, you know, covering golf and stuff, and I got to wondering, “How much dough does she actually make?” I mean, she’s been with CBS since 2017, so she’s gotta be doing alright, right?
I started digging around, just poking my nose where it probably didn’t belong. First, I went straight to my browser and typed in “Amanda Balionis net worth.” I know, I know, kinda nosy, but hey, I was curious! The results were interesting.
- Started digging: I found a bunch of articles and websites talking about her salary. Most of them say pretty much the same thing, that she makes somewhere between $40,000 and $140,000 a year. That’s a pretty wide range, but hey, it’s something.
- Deeper dive: Then I started looking into her career path. Turns out she didn’t just land the CBS gig overnight. She worked her way up, starting with smaller jobs at places like Verizon Fios and MSG Networks. She did that for, like, six years before landing a bigger role.
- Got the timeline: From what I gathered, by 2018, CBS made her a full-time member of their team. That’s probably when she started making the bigger bucks. I also saw that her net worth is estimated to be around $1 million. Not too shabby!
- More background: I even found some personal stuff. Like, apparently, she moved back to Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and lived with her parents for a while. Even got laid off from a newspaper job. But then, bam, the next day a Hofstra alum calls her up, and she lands a sideline reporter gig. Talk about a rollercoaster!
- Her husband, too: Oh, and I found out she’s married to a former football coach, Bryan Renner. It mentioned he used to coach college football from 2016 to 2021, with a stop at Austin Peay and then FIU. Now, according to his LinkedIn page (yes, I went there too), he’s an account executive at some company called KLDiscovery.
After all that digging, I kinda felt like a stalker, but also kinda impressed. Amanda Balionis really worked her butt off to get where she is. And she’s making a good living doing what she loves. It’s a good reminder that hard work pays off, even if the journey is a bit bumpy at times. You go, Amanda!
