Wilfred Frost

Frost is the son of Sir David Frost, an interviewer and television host, and Lady Carina Fitzalan-Howard, a daughter of the Duke of Norfolk. Frost attended the University of Oxford and graduated with a degree in Politics, Philosophy & Economics.[1]

After graduating, Frost worked for Newton Investment Management in London for 5 years.[1] In 2011, after attending a weekend-long media-training program in London, he left his job to pursue a career in broadcasting.[2]

In 2014, Frost joined CNBC as the co-anchor of Worldwide Exchange, first from London and beginning in 2016, from the United States.[1][2]

In 2018, Frost became co-anchor of Closing Bell.[3]

Frost's parents owned Michelmersh Court, 21-acre estate in the south of England. There, he met Margaret Thatcher, John Major, Tony Blair, David Cameron, and George H. W. Bush.[2]

In 2015, Frost's older brother, Miles, died from hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, the same condition that their father died from in 2013. In response, he and his younger brother, George, created the Miles Frost Fund, which works to raise awareness of and increase testing for this hereditary heart condition. Wilfred underwent hypertrophic cardiomyopathy screening and tested negative.[2]
