Stephen Colbert – $75 Million

When it comes to TV hosting, another famous name is Stephen Colbert. Known in the United States for his satirical and poker-faced comedy performance style, he hosted the Comedy Central Channel satirical news program The Colbert Report, in which Kebel played a conservative political critic. Just like Jon, he is a comedian and writer, in addition to being a television host. However, he is not only a simple host. He is an award-winning one with nine Emmy Awards, two Grammy Awards, and two Peabody Awards.

But before he became a witty television host, he was a serious actor. He started his career acting, being an understudy for another equally funny man, Steve Carell. However, it seemed like acting was not meant for him. So, he shifted to hosting. He got credits for being a writer on shows like Saturday Night Live and The Daily Show, which he later hosted, probably helping him to amass his $75-million net worth.
