Paola Ramos has an unknown net worth.
Several online sources claim that Paola Ramos has a net worth of between $1 million and $5 million, but those figures are very rough estimates without specific confirmation.
Paola Ramos’s parents include a journalist father whom Trump kicked out of a press conference.
Ramos’s mother is Cuban-born Gina Montaner and her father, Jorge Ramos, is also a journalist. He was working for the Spanish-language network Univision in 2015 when he had a disappointing interaction with Donald Trump, then a presidential candidate.
The New York Times reported that during a campaign event in Dubuque, Iowa, Ramos attempted to ask Trump a question about his plans to deport 11 million undocumented immigrants and build a Mexican border wall. Trump claimed he hadn’t called on Ramos, and had security personnel escort the reporter out of the area.
Mr. Ramos was readmitted to the press conference about 15 minutes later and engaged in some back-and-forth discussion with Trump about immigration policy, deportations, and the border wall.
