Vladimir Duthiers was born on December 21, 1969, in New York City. He is the son of Haitian immigrant parents with partial French ancestry, and he also has partial French Chinese heritage on his family’s side. That background is why Duthiers speaks French and Haitian Creole fluently and has also learned Mandarin Chinese.
Duthiers attended the University of Rhode Island, where he originally planned to major in journalism before switching to political science. He graduated in 1991. In 2017, the university awarded him an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree, according to the University of Rhode Island’s own alumni profile of him.
His path to journalism was not direct. After college, Duthiers spent close to two decades in the finance industry rather than heading straight into a newsroom, a detail that continues to set his biography apart from most of his broadcast peers.
Vladimir Duthiers’s career breaks cleanly into two chapters: nearly two decades in finance, followed by a second act in journalism that has now lasted more than fifteen years.
1991: Graduated from the University of Rhode Island and began working on Wall Street in financial services.
1993: Joined the asset management firm AllianceBernstein, where he was later promoted to Managing Director overseeing business development across Asia, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East, according to his University of Rhode Island alumni profile.
2009: Enrolled part time at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism and simultaneously joined CNN as an intern and production assistant on the program Amanpour, later working as an associate producer on Anderson Cooper 360, per CBS News’s own staff biography of Duthiers.
2010: Traveled to Haiti with the CNN team to cover the devastating January 12 earthquake near Port au Prince. The team’s coverage earned two News and Documentary Emmy Awards in 2011 for outstanding breaking news and continuing coverage.
2012: Became CNN’s Lagos, Nigeria correspondent, reporting on regional instability including the In Amenas hostage crisis in Algeria and the French led military intervention in Mali.
2014: Won an individual Peabody Award for his on the ground reporting from northeastern Nigeria on the Boko Haram kidnapping of more than 270 schoolgirls from Chibok, coverage that Grokipedia’s research notes was cited for advancing public understanding of the crisis at a time of limited Western media access.
November 2014: Left CNN after five years there and joined CBS News as a correspondent, becoming part of the team that launched CBSN, the network’s 24 hour digital streaming service.
Following years: Covered major national and global stories for CBS, including the Ferguson protests following the police shooting of Michael Brown, the manhunt for accused Pennsylvania State Police shooter Eric Frein, the Paris terror attacks, Hurricane Maria’s destruction in Puerto Rico, the 2016 presidential election, and the war in Ukraine, according to CBS News and the Figure Skating in Harlem organization’s biography of him.
2019 onward: Became a regular correspondent and fill in host on CBS Mornings, contributing recurring “What To Watch” segments.
2023: Elevated to featured host of CBS Mornings, a promotion covered by The Hollywood Reporter, which also noted his continuing role as anchor on the CBS News Streaming Network alongside Anne Marie Green.
Late 2025: Took on hosting duties for CBS Saturday Morning alongside Lindsey Reiser, following a broader shake up of CBS News’s weekend and morning lineup, per IMDb’s coverage of the network changes.
Today, Duthiers continues to juggle multiple roles at once, opening CBS Mornings in Times Square before crossing Manhattan to anchor segments on the CBS News Streaming Network, a routine The Hollywood Reporter has described in detail from his own account.
Vladimir Duthiers is married to Marian Wang, a senior news producer at Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. The two met around 2011, when Duthiers was working as a producer on Anderson Cooper 360 and Wang was a reporter at ProPublica.
The couple married on September 1, 2020, on Fire Island, New York. They had originally planned a wedding in South Africa, but shifted their plans because of the COVID 19 pandemic. Several of Duthiers’s CBS Mornings co anchors, including Gayle King and Tony Dokoupil, said on air that they had not known about the wedding until Duthiers returned to the studio afterward.
On September 7, 2022, Duthiers announced live on CBS Mornings that he and Wang were expecting their first child, a daughter, due in early 2023, a milestone he later described as making him “especially excited to be a girl dad.” The couple’s daughter, Céline Mari WeiZhen Wang Duthiers, was born in late January 2023.
There is no officially confirmed figure for Vladimir Duthiers’s net worth or salary, since CBS News does not publish individual pay details and Duthiers has not disclosed his earnings publicly. Multiple entertainment and finance focused publications have estimated his net worth anywhere from roughly 800,000 dollars to 5 million dollars, with most landing in a 1 million to 3 million dollar range as of 2026.
That spread exists because outside estimators work from industry pay benchmarks and career trajectory rather than any real financial disclosure. What can be said with confidence is that Duthiers built his financial foundation over nearly 18 years in finance, including a Managing Director role at AllianceBernstein overseeing multi region business development, before he began drawing a broadcast journalist’s salary at CNN in 2009 and then at CBS News starting in 2014.
Senior, longtenured correspondents and featured hosts at major American networks like CBS typically earn salaries well into six figures, and some multiplatform anchors earn considerably more once streaming and franchise duties like Duthiers’s CBS Mornings and CBS News 24/7 roles are factored in. Still, without a leaked contract or on the record disclosure from Duthiers or CBS, any specific salary or net worth number should be treated as an industry based estimate rather than a confirmed fact.
Vladimir Duthiers’s most notable recognitions came during his years at CNN. He was part of the CNN team honored with two News and Documentary Emmy Awards in 2011 for its coverage of the 2010 Haiti earthquake, one for outstanding coverage of a breaking news story and one for continuing coverage. In 2014, he won an individual Peabody Award for his reporting from Nigeria on the Boko Haram kidnapping of the Chibok schoolgirls. In 2017, the University of Rhode Island awarded him an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree in recognition of his career.
Vladimir Duthiers was born on December 21, 1969, making him 56 years old as of 2026.
There is no officially confirmed net worth. Public estimates from entertainment and finance publications generally range from about 800,000 dollars to 5 million dollars, with most estimates clustering around 1 million to 3 million dollars as of 2026.
CBS News has not publicly disclosed his salary. Some unverified reports have suggested a figure in the hundreds of thousands of dollars annually, but no official number has ever been confirmed by CBS or by Duthiers himself.
He was born and raised in New York City, the son of Haitian immigrant parents with partial French ancestry.
He is known for being a featured host of CBS Mornings and an anchor for CBS News 24/7, as well as for his earlier Emmy and Peabody Award winning international reporting at CNN, including his coverage of the 2010 Haiti earthquake and the Boko Haram kidnapping of Nigerian schoolgirls.
