Jenn Sterger Net Worth $1.5 million
Sterger attended Gaither High School in Hillsborough County, Florida, where she majored in drum, being a member of the school’s band. She later enrolled at Florida State University, graduating with a dual major in psychology and criminology. While at college she became a member of a group called the FSU Cowgirls, who attend football games dressed scantily which attracted TV coverage, with announcer Brent Musburger commenting at one game in 2005 that “1,500 red-blooded Americans just decided to apply to Florida State”. Embracing this coverage, such popularity and publicity encouraged Sterger to pursue a modeling career, posing for prestigious magazines such as Maxim and Playboy in 2006. She also became a spokesperson for Dr. Pepper and Sprint. All contributed to her rising popularity and to her net worth as well.
Around the same time she began writing a regular column for the website Sports Illustrated on Campus. She also wrote a feature on SI.com’s “Scorecard Daily”, increasing her wealth, and in 2008 Sterger’s name appeared in the E!: Entertainment Television show “Byte Me: 20 Hottest Women of the Web”, being ranked #19. The same year she was hired as the “Gameday Host” for the New York Jets; hosting the team’s local broadcasts boosted her fame and considerably improved her wealth.
Jenn then began hosting the ABC nationally televised weekly show called “Race to March Madness”, which portrayed the best NCAA basketball teams, and in 2010 Sterger served as a co-host of the Versus sports news show “The Daily Line”, cementing her fame and increasing her net worth once again. The following year she became a reporter on Fuel TV’s specials, and then moved to Los Angeles in 2012, to focus on her acting career.
Speaking about her acting career, Sterger made cameo appearances in television series such as “BarFly”, “Dirty and Thirty”, “Oh Yeah” and “Z Rock”. She made her film debut appearing as Erin in the 2013 action horror film “The Tenant”, and went on to play Amber in the drama film “Don’t Fade Away” the same year. In the following years, she appeared in the short films “Choose”, “Out of the Bag” and “iFlirt”, as well as in the television film “WeHos”.
Her most recent film appearance was in the comedy drama “Funny Fat Guy” in 2016. Sterger’s involvement in the film and television industry has offered an ideal showcase for her acting talent, and has also been an additional source of her net worth.
When it comes to her off-camera life, Sterger has been engaged to professional baseball player Cody Decker since late 2016. Interestingly, in 2008 while she worked as a sideline reporter for the Jets, the team’s quarterback Brett Favre reportedly sent her racy photos of himself, inviting her to his hotel room. The player was eventually fined $50,000 by the NFL.
