Regis Philbin – TV Host, $150 Million Net Worth
It’s hard to think of talk shows without thinking of legendary TV host Regis Philbin. Believe it or not, he started the show that would eventually become Live! With… back in the late ’70s, on the radio! Of course, after Live! With moved to television and added co-host Kathie Lee in 1985, it took off like no other, making Philbin into a household name. From there, he continued to garner fame, success, and wealth thanks to hosting shows like Who Wants to Be A Millionaire and America’s Got Talent, as well as staying on Live! With for nearly four decades.
Unfortunately, Philbin passed away on July 24, 2020, leaving behind a net worth of $150 million. Thankfully, unlike many other celebrities, the iconic host had his affairs in order, easing the transition for his four children and wife since 1970, Joy Philbin.
