Regis Philbin – Recently passed – $150 Million
When it comes to sheer numbers, it seems like nobody’s ever going to take Regis Philbin’s place. The iconic host of multiple game shows, such as Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, Philbin was awarded the Guinness World Record for “most hours on U.S. television,” a distinction that pretty much sums up how hard he worked throughout his career.
If you turned the small-screen on, there was a good chance you were going to see Philbin’s face. Sadly, the show business veteran passed away earlier in 2020 due to health complications. His legacy, though, is undeniably relevant, as was his fortune of $150 million.
