BOB BARKER – EST. $80 MILLION
The iconic television game show host might be retired now, but his legacy continues. Did you know that Bob Barker was once enlisted in the Navy during World War II? After this, he moved to California, and from there, got the privilege of hosting his namesake radio show. This ran for six years! He has hosted multiple Miss Universe pageants and is given credit for being one of its longest-serving hosts.
We know him best for being the face of The Price is Right, which he began hosting in 1972 until 2007 when he chose to retire after 50-years on TV.
For the last decade of his tenure on the show, Price is Right, Bob’s annual salary peaked at $10 million. It’s no shocker since he has a total personal net worth of $80 million. You might be wondering why he is only worth a measly $80 million if he earned $10 million for ten years? Well, he is a well-known philanthropist and animal rights activist. He even spent $1 million from his pocket to free three African elephants from the Toronto Zoo.
