PAT SAJAK – EST. $70 MILLION

Wheel of Fortune host Pat Sajak surely hit the jackpot when he became the gameshow’s host back in the 1980s and in the 1990s. He has succeeded in growing his career over the years, going from a radio personality to a game show host, and his occasional acting. Before entering the media industry, he primarily worked as a weatherman on various TV channels.

Pat also served in the US Air Force, and there, he was tasked to help man the military’s radio frequency network. Upon finishing his contract with the army, he decided to pursue broadcasting full-time. After several career steps, Pat finally came face to face with his big break when he was offered to replace Chuck Woolery as the host of Wheel of Fortune. It took a couple of meetings with lawyers and showrunners, but in 1981, he finally landed the position. As of 2020, Pat s net worth is now estimated to be worth $70 million.
