Nikki Finke Net Worth At Time Of Death

At the time of her death, Nikki Finke was worth about $4 million, according to estimates.

Nikki Finke was a blogger, a journalist, a publisher, and a writer from the United States. She worked as a consultant for Penske Business Media LLC and as a senior editorial contributor for PBM, which is run by Jay Penske, who owns a media company.

Finke’s “take-no-prisoners” attitude made some of the biggest names in show business angry, while it made others happy. She often got big exclusives, and when communications teams or publicists confirmed them, Finke would add to her story with her trademark “TOLDJA!”

Finke’s “live-snarking” of Hollywood award shows like the Oscars, Emmys, and Golden Globes were some of her most well-known jobs.

She put warnings on many of these live blogs, such as “Come for the cynicism, stay for the subversion” and “Not for the easily offended or ridiculously naive.” In fact, no executive, star, producer, or topic was safe then or in any other Deadline post.

Finke grew up on Long Island, New York. Before joining Deadline, he worked as a foreign correspondent for the Associated Press in Moscow and London, a correspondent for Newsweek in Los Angeles and Washington, D.C., and as a staff writer for entertainment and features at the Los Angeles Times. She was the West Coast Editor for the New York Observer and a Hollywood columnist for New York Magazine. She also had a show on Southern California public radio about the entertainment business.
