Early life
Liu was born in Hong Kong, moved to the United States when she was three years old, and from age twelve was raised in Philadelphia. She attended Central High School and then graduated magna cum laude in 1995 from the University of Pennsylvania with a degree in English.
Career
Liu jump-started her career in financial journalism as a Hong Kong-based regional correspondent and youngest-ever Taiwan Bureau Chief for Dow Jones Newswires.
After she left Dow Jones, she worked for several years as the Atlanta Bureau Chief for the Financial Times, where she broke stories on top corporate and political leaders such as Coca-Cola ex-chief executive Douglas Daft, former Home Depot CEO Bob Nardelli, and former U.S. President Jimmy Carter.
Returning to Asia as an anchor and correspondent for CNBC Asia, Liu covered the daily market action in the Greater China region for all of CNBC's morning shows, including for CNBC's Squawk Box.
Over the course of her career, she has also written for The Wall Street Journal and Far Eastern Economic Review
She currently works for Bloomberg Television, formerly anchoring "In the Loop with Betty Liu" from its inception in 2007 until the show's cancelation in June 2015, which was replaced with "Market Movers". Liu continues to appear during the mid-day hours on Bloomberg television. She also hosted "In the Loop, At the Half" on Bloomberg Radio.
Awards
In 1997, she received a Dow Jones Newswires Award for her coverage of the Asian financial crisis.
Her coverage while at FT of the biggest Fortune 500 companies based in the South (Coca-Cola, Home Depot, UPS, FedEx) earned her a spot on TJFR's "Top 30 business journalists under 30 list" three years in a row (2000–2002).
On October 27, 2011, Betty Liu became the first female and Asian student to be inducted into Central High School's Alumni Hall of Fame.
In 2012, Bloomberg TV ran an advertising campaign incorrectly touting Liu as "Pulitzer Prize-nominated". When contacted by msnbc.com, Bloomberg TV acknowledged the error and said it would correct the ads. The same claim of a Pulitzer nomination was made by the publisher of her biography, Age Smart: Discovering the Fountain of Youth at Midlife and Beyond.
Personal life
Liu has been married twice, first to Ohio neurologist Benjamin L. Walter (also a Central High School graduate, whom she married on September 14, 2002 and divorced in 2006) and currently to William, an Australian news executive whom she met in Hong Kong.
Liu is a mother of twin boys, Dylan and Zachary, who were born July 21, 2004, by her first husband. They live in Millburn, New Jersey.
Liu is fluent in Mandarin, and speaks some Cantonese.
