Despite his forays into politics, Harold Ford Jr saw the most success as a financial managing director.

He started his job as a financial managing director in 2011 after he started working for Morgan Stanley in the managing director position. 

At the same time, he kept a strong foothold in the political world too as he frequently appeared on many politically-related programs on television like Meet The Press by NBC and other channels like MSNBC, CNBC, and CNN.

His foray into the financial world was very successful, and he worked at Morgan Stanley for over seven years, until 2017, before deciding to move on from the position.

Unfortunately, the end of his tenure at Morgan Stanley saw some controversy, as various news reports mistakenly stated that he had been fired from the company due to some misconduct of an inappropriate nature.

This was not the case, and thankfully, Morgan Stanley issued a statement promptly the next month informing media outlets and the public that no inappropriate misconduct took place. 

Still, Ford Jr sued Morgan Stanely for the damages done to his reputation, and in January of the next year, 2018, The New York Times reported that the former managing director and his previous employers had reached a legal agreement.

Ford Jr's foray into the world of finance did not end there.

As recently as 2020, he was named PNC Financial Services' Vice Chairman of Corporate & Institutional banking.

In order to be closer to the company, he and his family now reside in New York City.

Former Republican and financial pundit Harold Ford Jr has a net worth of $3 million dollars. Harold Ford Jr. has had many streams of income throughout his life.

The earliest, of course, was through his political career, which he started in 1996 after his father did not seek a 12th term in Congress.

He won the seat for the US House of Representatives from Tennessee's 9h district on January 3, 1997, and kept it for over a year until January 3, 2007.

His political career has been defined by early successes and later foibles as the country became more and more progressive. 

He went from being one of the youngest members of Congress in US History to being openly anti-LGBT and anti-abortion.

As stated above, he then forayed into the world of finance and saw a lot of success there too, and still sees a lot of success there. 

He has also written a book, which he published in 2010, called More Davids Than Goliaths: A Political Education.

Most recently, he started working at Fox News as a Political contributor which he joined in April 2021. 

He is a constant guest and panel member on the news program Special Report and as of January 2022, he has been a co-host in the panel show, The Five.

Despite being a member of the Democratic party, Ford Jr.'s politics are very right-leaning, and that is why he has seen the kind of success he has had in right-leaning media as of late.

Given the trajectory of his career, he will probably become a full-blown Republican and conservative in the coming years.
