Anheuser-Busch CEO Brendan Whitworth is living the dream. He is believed to earn $12 million a year and lives in a $7 million apartment on the Upper East Side, near Central Park, with his wife, Meredith Baker.
But who is this millionaire’s wife? Read on to learn all about her in Meredith Baker’s biography.
Meet Meredith Baker, CEO of Anheuser-Busch Brendan Whitworth Wife
Meredith Baker has been Brendan Whitworth’s beloved wife for over eight years. The two got married on May 2, 2015, after a few years of dating.
In 2023, the couple lives in a $7 million apartment on the Upper East Side, Central Park, Manhattan in New York City and enjoys the happiest life.
The positive energy from his personal life is also reflected in his professional life. Back when Bud Light faced backlash for its sponsorship with actress and TikTok personality Dylan Mulvaney, Brendan didn’t rule out the possibility of Bud Light partnering with the star again. Instead, he said the company needs to “appreciate” what consumers want.
“It’s been a challenging few weeks, and I think the conversation around Bud Light has become less about beer and more about division, and Bud Light really doesn’t belong there,” Brendan Whitworth told CBS Mornings in an interview that aired June 28, 2023. “Bud Light should be a place for people to come together.”
However, he acknowledged his responsibility as CEO for the consequences faced by employees, consumers and distributors, noting, “It is a gift and it is a gift. But for us, as we look forward and look forward, we have to understand the impact that it has had.”
While the CEO refused to rule out working with transgender influencers again, he also avoided answering how much the marketing blunder cost Bud Light. Instead, he said they tripled their investment in Bud Light this year (2023) — as the company lost $20 billion in market cap.
Brendan Whitworth And Meredith Baker Children
Meredith Baker and Brendan Whitworth don’t reveal who their children are. But if you ask us, they might have a daughter together—who appears on Meredith’s FB and IG profile pictures.
Now, for those wondering how the Bud Light controversy began, here are some details for you. The boycott began in April 2023 after a transgender woman, Dylan Mulvaney, was brought in as part of a larger campaign to address declining Bud Light sales and appeal to a younger audience. The campaign video galvanized anti-transgender individuals and conservatives in the US, including singer Kid Rock, who helped spearhead a boycott of the beer brand.
After the boycott, Bud Light sales dropped between 11 and 26%. Fortunately, Bud Light’s parent company sent financial aid to beer wholesalers and distributors affected by the two-month sales decline.

Meredith Baker’s work
Meredith Baker hasn’t disclosed her occupation. Technically, she doesn’t need a job either, since her husband is the CEO of Anheuser-Busch. He boasts a net worth of about $35 million as of 2023.
But Brendan first started his career in the U.S. Marine Corps, stationed in Baghdad, Iraq. There, he spent late nights studying business school and eventually applied to Harvard Business School. Fortunately, he was accepted by Harvard in 2006, and for the next two years, he immersed himself in business school.
After graduating, instead of going into banking or management consulting like many others, Brendan took a job at PepsiCo in the Frito-Lay division. Within a few years, he was hired by Anheuser-Busch, a company that he says has been “an American icon for nearly 170 years.”
Over the next eight years, he quickly rose through the chain and eventually became CEO in July 2021.
