The 21 Richest Game Show Hosts of All Time

There's some serious coin in being a host?!?




Who are the richest game show hosts of all time? If you’re like me, you’ve always wanted to go on a show like the Price is Right and win the Showcase Showdown. New cars, cash, dream vacations… Game show hosts have spent decades helping everyday people like you and me get rich on national television. In 2004, Ken Jennings won $2.5 million off 75 straight Jeopardy games. Jenning’s went on to win another $500,000 on Are you Smarter than a 5th Grader and today he holds the record for most money ever won on a game show at $3.773 million!

I've never watched gameshows much but the first two names that came to mind are Richard Dawson and Wink Martindale. Neither is on the list, but I'm pleased to say are still alive.
