Kristina Partsinevelos's salary is not publicly disclosed. CNBC and its parent company do not publish pay for individual correspondents, and she has not stated her pay. Websites guess anywhere from about $40,000 to $250,000 a year, and none of those figures is sourced. Treat any specific number as an estimate.

What is Kristina Partsinevelos's salary?
No official figure exists. Here is why:
CNBC does not reveal air talent pay. An employee's salary at a private media company is confidential, unlike the salary of a public official.
She hasn't revealed it. We haven't come across any interviews where she provides a number.
It cannot be revealed in any filing. The payments made to correspondents don't show up in executive compensation in securities filings, only that of a company's most senior officers.
Why the estimates online are not reliable
Different sites quote very different numbers for her, as the table shows:
| Estimate seen online | Notes |
|---|---|
| About 40,000-110,500 per year | A range repeated across several biography sites; the same range appears on pages about other, unrelated journalists |
| About $108,500 per year | A single figure quoted on other sites |
| About 70,000-250,000 per year | A wider range on another profile |
If the same salary range appears multiple times over for different people, it is a good indicator that the numbers are not from data but that they are generated from a template. None of these sites cite a source, so we do not rely on them.
How to get a realistic benchmark
For context rather than a precise answer, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes median pay and ranges for the occupation "news analysts, reporters, and journalists" on its Occupational Outlook Handbook page. The BLS figure reflects the category she is in, rather than her pay, as pay rates can be far above or below the national median in the same category based on contract, seniority and role in the market.
What about Kristina Partsinevelos's net worth?
Online estimates range from $1 million to $5 million, but there are no sources to back that up and net worth relies on savings, investments, property and family situations that are not public. We do not state the number.
What does she cover at CNBC?
Partsinevelos covers the companies and moves around the Nasdaq, with an emphasis on the chip industry and AI infrastructure. She has recently covered corporate topics in her CNBC profile, such as semiconductors and AI. She has appeared on CNBC programmes such as Squawk on the Street.
How to think about a reporter's pay range responsibly
When a number is not disclosed, the safest approach is to take a range rather than a specific number as a guess. The salary of a national network correspondent is determined by many variables that cannot be seen from the outside:
- Contract length and seniority. Someone with years at a network is paid differently from a recent hire.
- Role. A reporter attached to a premium beat or a recurring on-air slot may be paid more than a general-assignment reporter.
- Market and employer. The same job can pay very differently at different networks.
- Extras. Appearances, digital work and other duties can change total compensation.
Because all of these are private and vary from person to person, any single figure published online conflates guesses. The Bureau of Labor Statistics page linked above is useful for the broad category, but it cannot tell you what one person earns.
Why her beat matters
Partsinevelos' focus on Nasdaq-listed companies and the semiconductor industry is a notable part of her profile. Chip and AI-hardware news is closely followed by investors because it can move share prices, which is why a dedicated reporter on that beat is a visible role. That visibility is a reason so many people are curious about her pay, but it does not make the figure any less private. If you want to follow her work, her CNBC page and her X account are the places to start.
