RUSH LIMBAUGH | $600 MILLION
The late Rush Limbaugh was a prominent American political conservative radio host. He gained his widespread degree of influence in the political sphere as a pundit with his long-running radio show The Rush Limbaugh Show. It was syndicated across the American airwaves on both FM and AM stations in 1988. Sadly, the political commentator passed away on February 21, 2021.
There is no doubt that Limbaugh established himself to be one of the highest-paid political commentators over the recent decades. Millions of weekly listeners tuned in for his hot takes, which garnered him an impressive net worth of an estimated $600 million at the time of his passing. At the height of his popularity, the right-wing pundit was reported to have been earning over $85 million annually. However, apart from his political show, he was also a known philanthropist with charitable donations for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
