Bartiromo was nicknamed the "Money Honey" in the late 1990s, due to her striking looks and for being the first woman to report live from the raucous floor of the New York Stock Exchange.[8][10]

In January 2007, Bartiromo filed trademark applications to use the term "Money Honey" as a brand name for a line of children's products including toys, puzzles and coloring books to teach kids about money.[11][12]

Bartiromo has anchored the television coverage of New York City's Columbus Day parade since 1995 and was the Grand Marshal in 2010.[13] She appeared as herself in the films Risk/Reward, the documentary about the lives of women on Wall Street (2003); the 2009 remake of The Taking of Pelham 123, an action film about armed men who hijack a New York City subway train; the drama film Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps (2010); the documentary Inside Job (2010); and the Richard Gere finance thriller, Arbitrage.

Bartiromo is the author of three books. Her first book, Use the News: How to Separate the Noise from the Investment Nuggets and Make Money in Any Economy (2001) ISBN 978-0-06-662086-2, appeared on both The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestseller lists. Her other books are The 10 Laws of Enduring Success (2010) ISBN 978-0-307-45253-5 and The Weekend That Changed Wall Street (2011) ISBN 978-1-59184-351-1.[14] Bartiromo signed a new five-year contract with her then employer, CNBC, in late 2008.[15]

Bartiromo also writes a Monthly column for USA Today called "One-On-One".[9]

Fox News and Fox Business

On November 18, 2013, it was announced that Bartiromo was leaving CNBC to join the Fox Business Network. CNBC issued a statement on her departure from the network: "After 20 years of groundbreaking work at CNBC, Maria Bartiromo will be leaving the company as her contract expires on November 24. Her contributions to CNBC are too numerous to list but we thank her for all of her hard work over the years and wish her the best."[16] According to the Drudge Report, her deal with Fox Business calls for her to anchor a daily market hours program and to have a role on Fox News as well.[17]

In May 2018, Bartiromo said that Barack Obama "politicized all of his agencies" in an effort "to take down Donald Trump."[18] In July 2018, it was announced that her FBN broadcast, Mornings with Maria, beat CNBC's Squawk Box in the ratings for second quarter 2018.[19]

Bartiromo's awards include: Excellence in Broadcast Journalism Award, presented by the Coalition of Italo-American Associations, 1997;[14] Lincoln Statue Award, presented by the Union League of Philadelphia, 2004;[14] Gracie Award, for Outstanding Documentary, in 2008;[7][20] Emmy Award, for Outstanding Coverage of A Breaking News Story in 2008;[7][21] Emmy Award, for Outstanding Business and Economic Reporting, in 2009;[7][22] Financial Times 50 People Who Shaped the Decade in 2009;[7][23] Cable Hall of Fame, the first journalist to be inducted, in 2011.[7][24] On 14 February 2017, Bartiromo was listed by UK-based company Richtopia at number 2 in the list of 250 Most Influential Business Journalists.[25][26]

Joey Ramone, of The Ramones, developed a crush on Bartiromo after his band broke up in the late 1990s. He subsequently wrote a song titled "Maria Bartiromo" that appeared on the album Don't Worry About Me released posthumously in 2002.[27]
